[FIXED] How to fetch default value from an input into a servlet?

Issue

I have an input type which has a default value. I want to fetch its value inside of a servlet. So, which method will work in this case?

I tried using request.getParameter("FLC1"), but that didn't work as well.

Following is the input code:-

<input type="text" name="FLC1" id="FLC1" value="Floral Lavender Candle" disabled>

Thank you

Solution

Since your input element has a disabled attribute so it will not be submitted on form submit, instead make it a readonly and it should work.

<input type="text" name="FLC1" id="FLC1" value="Floral Lavender Candle" readonly>

Alternatively you can put a hidden filed in the form with same name attribute.

<input type="hidden" name="FLC1" value="Floral Lavender Candle">
