Disable text input based on actionform value

[Mike Dell]

I have a boolean value in my action form:
private boolean disableForm;

How can I disable a text input based on the value of disableForm? The follow below does not work
<html:text name="WorkForm" styleId="maildate" property="mailDate" maxlength="10" size="10" disabled="<%=disableForm.booleanValue()%>" />

First keep the boolean value in request in Action class.

request.setAttribute("boolValue",disableForm.booleanValue()); 

and in jsp take in this way

<html:text name="WorkForm" styleId="maildate" property="mailDate" maxlength="10" size="10" disabled="<bean:write name="boolValue" />  " />

The other way is from Scriplet you can do.

The disabled attribute doesn't understands true/false values. Its value is disabled i.e. disabled="disabled". So you'll need to use a condition and generate the disabled attribute only if you want to disable the text box...
