As per HTML spec if you have made the field disabled they will not be submited to the server and I believe this is what happening in your case
I believe you can do same by making field readonly and not disabled ------Original Message------ From: al so To: Struts Users Mailing List ReplyTo: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: behavior of form fields with disabled status Sent: Aug 27, 2012 8:35 AM A form with bunch of text fields including username and s:password. When these two fields are 'disabled' from editing due to some actions on other fields, the form being submitted will not contain the existing values for these fields. This causes confusion in the backend code into clearing the existing values for login credentials. I read about hidden fields. Is there a sample JSP form to look at?
