Hi Tony, I'm not 100% clear on what you're asking, but I'm guessing that you want to present a form with prepopulated values.
The way to do this is to create a HTML page with the values preassigned. So for instance if you have a form with the fields, first, last you would do something like this in your servlet: <form action="originalAction.jsp" name="update" method="post"> <td><input value="Joe" name="first" type="textfield"></td> <td><input value="Blow" name="last" type="textfield"></td> The first line should be identical to whatever it was that the original servlet form was using. The other lines should pre populate the default values, and the whole thing should be constructed by your new servlet. Another way to look at it is that you're contructing a form that's identical to the original one other than the "value" fields.
