Get the value of a label from a servlet using java

Question

I would like to know how can I get the value of a label from the request servlet in Java. Does getParameter(nameOfLabel) work for this? Or does it only work for inputs?. Anyhow, I'd like to know how to do so.

Answer 1

You can create a hidden input with the value of the label:

<input type="hidden" value="labelValue" name="labelName" />

And then use getParameter("labelName") to get its value.
