How to save a value in form jsp?

Question

hi all,
i have a dropdown list in my struts web app,
i am having a form in which a bean is instatiated(bean has 2 properties "name" and "code").
i am using like this in the jsp:
<td><html:select property="item.code">
                         <logic:iterate id="itemType"
                              name="<%=WebConstants.getItemTypeListName()%>">
                              <option value='<bean:write name="ItemType" property="code"/>'><bean:write
                                   name="ItemType" property="name" /></option>                              
                         </logic:iterate>                         
                    </html:select></td>
each "itemType" has "code" and "name".
when the user clicks on the item name on the dropdown item beans "code" is populating.now i need to populate "name" aswell at the sametime using hidden property.
i want to save tha value of name in the jsp to use it later to populate "name" in my form using hidden property?
do anyone have idea how to save the value in jsp?
regards and thanks in advance

Thank you. I execute the program below. I can now retrive the data from the Lt.txt. But the value is limited to 3 digits. For example, the content of my file is 777888.
When I run the program, I only get 777. How can I retrive the whole exact number?               
import java.io.*;
               class Test {     
               public static void main(String args[]) {          
               try {               
               File inputFile = new File("Lt.txt");               
               File outputFile = new File("outagain.txt");                    
               FileReader in = new FileReader("Lt.txt");               
               FileWriter out = new FileWriter(outputFile);               
               char[] tmp = new char[3];               
               int cnt = in.read(tmp);                              
               System.out.print("\nRead: ");               
               for (int i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {                    
               System.out.print(tmp);               }               
               System.out.println(" ");               
               in.close();          }
               catch (IOException ex) {               
               System.out.println("IOException:"+ex.toString());          }     }}
