You cannot nest JSP tags. Set the value of the form property 'resource' to
the correct value in the Action, before forwarding to the JSP, and the
framework will render the hidden field with the value set. What's placing
the 'resource' bean in the request? Instead of/in addition to that, do
form.setResource( resource.getCode() );
If for some reason that's unacceptable, you could always use a plain old
HTML <input> tag and nest the <bean:write> in that.
Or you could use Struts-EL and JSTL, but that's overkill for this problem.
I assume you aren't on a JSP 2.0 container so that the expression
${resource.code} would work.
