Nadia K., If "myBeanName" is the ActionForm associated with your Action, just use:
<html:text property="id" /> If "myBeanName" is a bean you manually saved in the session or request and isn't listed as the form for your action (using the name="" attribute in the action mapping), then you can try: <html:text name="myBeanName" property="id" /> For more details, see the documentation: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-html.html Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Nadia Kunkov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 3:03 PM To: Struts help (E-mail) Subject: <bean:write> within <html:text>, how to use? Hi, newbie question again. I'm trying to use <bean:write> within <html:text> tag. Here is how I use it with just plain HTML and it works: <input type=text name="somename" value= ' <bean:write name="myBeanName" property="id"/> ' > or <input type=hidden name="somename" value= ' <bean:write name="myBeanName" property="id"/> ' myBeanName is a bean that was put in a session with the data from the database. Instead of the <input type=text ...> etc. I'd like to use <html:text....> or <html:hidden....> I tried <html:text name="somename" value= ' <bean:write name="myBeanName" property="id"/> ' /> but that's not right. Could you help me with this? Also, is having the bean in a session or request with data from the database and then using bean:write, only way of displaying the data on a page? There is BeanUtils method to populate DTO with the data from an action form, can I somehow populate an action form from a bean instead of using bean:write in my jsp?
