Struts 2 - prepopulating a hidden field

[John Eric Hamacher]

Hello:

I have a JSP page (page.jsp) which is called from another application. The other application passes in query string (page.jsp?setting=123). I want a hidden field on page.jsp to be prepopulated with the value of setting.
I have the following line in page.jsp:

<s:hidden name="param_1" />

which a want to be prepopulated with the value of setting. The tag does not accept a value attribute. How can this be done?

Thanks
eric

Instead of calling the jsp directly, you should call a struts action. The action bean can than hold the parameter and you can set the hidden field by a simple

<input type="hidden" name="exampleID" id="exampleID" value="<s: property value='exampleProperty'/>"/>

Thanks, I'll try that

<s:hidden name="hiddenname" key="bar" />

ex.
if bar = "testme"
then

hiddenname=testme
