Input with name different than bean name property

[FlyingElvi <Fl...@punkass.com>]

Hi !

I wanted to know if there was any direct way to use a input field 
getting the value from a request bean that has a different property name 
than the form bean.

for example : Form Bean has 2 property id and parentId

in my JSP page request I have 2 objects of the same type and I want to 
populate the input field with the Id of both objects.

<html:hidden property="id" name="CHILD_OBJECT" /> // this works because 
my CHILD OBJECT has a method getId()
<html:hidden property="parentId" name="PARENT_OBJECT" /> // this doesn't 
work because I need to call getId()
                                                         // and not 
getParentId().

So is there any way to get it directly without having to do something 
like this ?
<bean:define id="parentId" name="PARENT_OBJECT" property="id"/>
<html:hidden property="parentId" value="<%=parentId + ""%>" />

Thanks

There is a value attribute in the <html:hidden> tag

as properties.

You have a child object with an id property, and you have a parent
object with an id property.

So you could have 
<html-el:hidden property="id" value="${CHILD_OBJECT.id}" />
and
<html-el:hidden property="parentId" value="${PARENT_OBJECT.id}" />


That is, you can do this if you use JSTL.  You can do the same without
-el tags and with code snippets but I just don't even want to think
about those.
