public HiddenTag() 
{
    super();
    this.type = "hidden";
}

Construct a new instance of this tag.

 public int doStartTag() throws JspException 
{
        // Render the < html:input type="hidden" > tag as before
        super.doStartTag();
        // Is rendering the value separately requested?
        if (!write) {
            return (EVAL_BODY_TAG);
        }
        // Calculate the value to be rendered separately
        // * @since Struts 1.1
        String results = null;
        if (value != null) {
            results = TagUtils.getInstance().filter(value);
        } else {
            Object value = TagUtils.getInstance().lookup(pageContext, name, property,
                                               null);
            if (value == null) {
                results = "";
            } else {
                results = TagUtils.getInstance().filter(value.toString());
            }
        }
        TagUtils.getInstance().write(pageContext, results);
        return (EVAL_BODY_TAG);
}

Generate the required input tag, followed by the optional rendered text. Support for write property since Struts 1.1.

 public boolean getWrite() 
{
       
        return (this.write);
}

 public  void release() 
{
        super.release();
        write = false;
}

Release any acquired resources.

 public  void setWrite(boolean write) 
{
        this.write = write;
