Hi,

I have something like this in JSP :

<html:radio property="gender" value="male">MALE</html:radio>
<html:radio property="gender" value="female">FEMALE</html:radio>

1) i want to know how to make "Male" to be default selected when page is loaded
2) I would set the value in form bean and on second page i would display radio buttons to change the value. i would like to know how to make one radio button selected as per the value set in form bean

thank you
ajay

The problem I see is with the way you've written your tag. If you specify a value attribute you should not specify a body and visa-versa. It's confusing because the value in the body is different that what is in the value attrubute. Change your tags to:

<html:radio property="gender" value="male" />Male
<html:radio property="gender" value="female" />Female

Then just set the ActionForm property gender to "male" sometime prior to displaying the page, and the male button will show as selected.

Hi,
I have a similar problem, but the solution you suggested is unavailable to me since i need to set the radio to the value of a request attribute (a field of an object that gets passed as a request attribute to be more precise).
How can I do that?

You could put the following tag in your JSP before the radio buttons:

This works, but the problem is that if the page is redisplayed because of a validation error, the button reverts to this value, rather than the value the user actually selected.

A better solution would be to have whatever process is setting the value in the request scope set it in the ActionForm bean instead.

you can initialize the default value in the form bean property
