Question

Hi i am building a webapp with struts 1.2

I am building an “edit” form, so i have my input tags being pre populated from a bean:

form.jsp

<html:text property="population"
value="${city.population}"/>

The problem is due to the value attribute you have there. The property attribute should be enough to show the correct value in the input. Having value there will always cause the value of ${city.population} to be displayed.
