I have the following code in my jsp:
<c:forEach var="value" items="${MyList}" varStatus="loop">
<tr><td><div id="Name1">Here:${value.name}</div></td></tr>
<s:hidden id="Name" name="Name" value="%{value.name}"/>
the html source is as following:
<tr><td><div id="Name1">Here:My name is X</div></td></tr>
<input type="hidden" name="Name" value="" id="Name"/>
As demonstrated the div tag is showing the value.name correctly but the value attribute of hidden tag is empty. I could not find any solution because most of the solutions were not related to list.
I changed it to ${value.name} but ran into this error: “According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions”
My completed JSP is as following:

I used %{nameVar} also but the value is still empty. 🙁 someone help plz
Try not to use property names like
value,key, etc., because they could be reserved keywords.So change
valueto something different and see if is this works.EDIT:
Change this
<s:hidden id="Name" name="Name" value='${nameVar}'/>to
<s:hidden id="Name" name="Name" value="%{nameVar}"/>Update:
If you want to use
forEachtag then use<input type="hidden" name="Name" value="${nameVar}">or use
<s:iterator>tag with<s:hidden id="Name" name="Name" value="%{nameVar}"/>
