embedding dynamic text in value of text field

[Richard Doust <rd...@comcast.net>]

Hi.
I have a form that wants to get the initial value for a <html:text> field
from a property of a bean associated with a different form on the page.
I have tried this:
<html:text property="userName" value="<c:out value="${foo.userName}"/>"/>
and this:
<html:text property="userName" value="${foo.userName}"/>
but obviously these won't work because, in the latter case, EL isn't being
processed in the attributes of the struts tag.
Does anyone know how I could do this?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi

I'm sure there must be a better way but I have used code like this to solve
similar problem:

<% String temp = ((cast.to.object.type)pageContext.getAttribute("foo",
pageContext.PAGE_SCOPE)).getUserName(); %>
<html:text property="userName" value="<%= temp %>" />
