Hi David, My problem is that there is a JSP called updatePlanProfileContent.jsp I submit this JSP to a action class named SavePlanProfileAction.java. There is a hidden field called regularPlan in the JSP which is not related to any form. I just want to retrieve the value of this hidden field in the SavePlanProfileAction.java.
In the SavePlanProfileAction.java I want to retrieve the value of the hidden field. Sounds very simple. But since I am newbie I am unable to get a solution Regards Krishna Mohan -----Original Message----- From: David G.

If your code only works when you do this: <% request.setAttribute("regularPlan","true"); %>' Then you cannot be using this tag: <html:hidden property="regularPlan" value="true" /> But something more like this: <html:hidden name="regularPlan" .... /> Why? Because skipping the "name=..." attribute forces the tag to use the current ActionForm specified by the html:form tag you are enclosing everything within. If you use the name field, it looks for an object in the various scopes (page, request, session, attribute) matching that name and tries to retrieve it's value). I've used this before to essentially "import" fields into a form for submittal to a new Action. See the manual for the html taglib (specifically html:hidden) for more detail: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-html.html#hidden Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Krishna Mohan Radhakrishnan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 12:13 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Putting a field into the REQUEST Hi David, Thanx it is working. But my original problem still exists. The request does not contain this field. But if I am using a java scriptlet like <% request.setAttribute("regularPlan","true"); %>Then it is working I want to do a similar operation in struts. Any idea?

I tred with a simple HTML input type tag and stil it is not set in the request. Please somebody tell me how to put a value into the request object through Struts tags or via simple HTML tags.
