How to retain form data when disabling input in html:text

[di...@jpmorgan.com]

I have <html:text property="bucketName" disabled="true"  size="40"/>
I populate html:text with data from DB.
I want to disable input for this property, but
when I get form data back in Action form bean does not have data for this 
property "bucketName"

How do i retain data after disabling input in html:text.

Thanks.

Short answer ... you cannot.  By defintion in HTML, disabled fields are not
sent to the server, so the server has no opportunity to keep them for you.
On the other hand, if you make the field read only instead of disabled, the
value *will* be sent to the server ... but the user will not be able to edit
it.

Thanks.

Use session-scoped form or reload this value each time from the database.
