Actually I am doing something like
pageContext.getServletRequest().getParameter("HiddenField) inside a custom
tag.
I believe that the problem may be related to the fact that I am doing this
inside a custom tag called from within a JSP page, inside of doing it in a
servlet, which is a well proven way to do it. I am doing it this way to
separate the HTML from the java code.
