Question

I have a JSP page with 2 textboxes–one for username and another for password. I’m able to get the values entered in both the fields, but I want to retain the username if the password is incorrect. I need to do it with Java using Spring.

My JSP looks like this:

<tr>
  <td align="right">
    <b>User ID:</b>
  </td>
  <td align="left">
    <input type="text" id="uname" name="uname" value="<% if(uname!=null){out.println(uname);}%>" size="15" /><br/>
    <font color="red"><form:errors path="uname" cssClass="validationError"/></font>
  </td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
  <td align="right">
    <b>Password:</b>
  </td>
  <td align="left">
    <input type=password id="pwd" name="pwd" value="" size="15" /><br/>
    <font color="red"><form:errors path="pwd" cssClass="validationError"/></font>
  </td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
  <input type="submit" id="sub" name="sub" value="Submit" size="15" />
  <td align="left">
    <input type=reset id="clr" name="clr"value="Reset"onclick="doClear();"/>
  </td>
</tr>

Have you tried:

<input type="text" id="uname" name="uname" value="${uname}" size="15" />

or

<input type="text" id="uname" name="uname" value="${param.uname}" size="15" />
