Does anyone know of a way to fill in a JSP form programatically?

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

<input type="text" id="field1" name="field1" value="<%=
bean1.getField1Value() %>"/>

where bean1.getField1Value() gives the value you want to populate the form
with.

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but you can obtain data from
the request- or sessionobject with expression language quite easily:
${sessionScope.object}
${requestScope.object}

Hi,
If I understand your question correctly you want the form to be
filled up when the browser comes up, programatically.. Something like
a macro. If so look at Ruby's Gem Watir. It is easy to use
(http://wtr.rubyforge.org/).

If you mean you want to set the values before the JSP is
compiled/displayed then you can do so in the JSP itself, using the
session or request --> setAttribute. Hope this is helpful.
Karl.
