html:hidden behavior with session form - BUG?

[Dennis Muhlestein <de...@zserve.com>]

I have a ActionForm in the session scope and am seeing some weird 
behavior with the html:hidden tag.

When I go from page 1 to page 2, my controller action sets the page 
attribute in my form from 1 to 2.

On page 1 the <html:hidden property="page" /> renders:
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="1" />

On page 2 the the <html:hidden tag renders the exact same thing, even 
though the property of the form has been incremented in the controller.

If I use bean:write instead of html:input it works:

ie:

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="<bean:write name="myForm" 
property="page" />">

The output of this is:

<input type="hidden" name="page" value="2" />

Which is the desired result.

Is this a bug in the html:hidden tag?  It used the value of the 
parameter submitted to the action (ie: /SomeAction.do?page=1&...) 
instead of the property of the bean set in the action after the post 
(ie: BeanUtils.setProperty(form,"page",2)) to render it's output.

I am using a nightly build 20030501

TIA
-Dennis
