You can't tell, based off the form, which fields are hidden or visible. This is something you have to know and hard-code into the page. So far as being different types, ... well, that's the same thing :-)
EVERYthing is carried around in a form as text because if you were to have a form with non-text fields and the user submitted something that failed to convert on assignment you would lose data. A better practice is to capture values as text, perform validation on the text, and assign that to some POJO bean that has the proper types. BeanUtils can be indespensible for doing this!
