Description

The <html:hidden> field values associated with an <html:form> are not added to the request when a submit is performed via <html:link>

For example:

<html:form action="/MyAction">

<html:hidden property="myID" value="1"/>

<html:link action="/MyAction">Method 1</html:link>
<html:submit>Method 2</html:submit>

</html:form>

"Method 1" link clicked:

• downstream action mapped by "/MyAction" returns null in response to request.getParameter("myID");

"Method 2" button clicked:

• downstream action mapped by "/MyAction" returns "1" in response to request.getParameter("myID");
