Drop-Down Menu Has a Hidden Property to be Forwarded Along With the Selection

[JiaPei Jen]

I have a drop-down menu like this:

  <html-el:select property="document">
     <html-el :-o	 ption value="">-Select-</html-el :-o	 ption>
     <html-el :-o	 ptions collection="PageBeans" property="name" labelProperty="name"/>
  </html-el:select>

Once a user makes a selection in the menu and click on the Submit button, the action servlet will know what is selected:

  String selectedPage = request.getParameter( "document" ); 

The PageBeans object is a Collection; a Collection of individual JavaBean. In my case, each individual JavaBean is called PageBean (singular).

The PageBean has two properties; one is called 'name', which gets displayed in the drop-down menu. The other is called 'groupID', which is not displayed.

Once a selection is made, the 'name' property of that particular PageBean will be forwarded to a servlet. However, I also want the 'groupID' property of that PageBean to be forwarded. How can it be done?
