Re: How to use bean property as value for html hidden field

[Michael Jouravlev]

Though it does not seem to be documented well, but some (many, all?)
tags support textual content, like a regular XML element. This would
look kind of like this:

<html:hidden property="resource">
      <bean:write name="resource" property="code" scope="request"/>
</html:hidden>

I haven't tried it, but this might work.
