Just prefill the input value with the submitted value. Submitted input values are available in EL via the
${param}request parameter map keyed by input field names.Note the importance of JSTL
fn:escapeXml(). It’s to prevent your page from XSS attacks while redisplaying user-controlled input.The above example will prefill the input value with the result of
request.getParameter("query"). As EL is null-safe, it won’t display anything if it returnsnull.See also:
