Use of h:inputHidden tag

Question

I'm new to JSF and I have a product which using Struts frame work and I need to move it to JSF. I'm struggling to find out how to set a value to a property of a bean from the JSP page without exposing the value to the user.
In the Struts I set the value fro the action property as follows:
<td width = "1"><html:hidden property="action" name="MyBean" value = "add"/></td>
I'm not sure how I can do the samething in JSF since JSF "<h:inputHidden" tag does not have "property" element.
<h:inputHidden id="action" value="add"/>
Below is the definition of the bean that I'm using.
Please help.
John
public class MyBean {
// Some data captured from the form
private String action;
pulbic String process() {
     String outcome = null;
     if ("add".equals(action) {
          // outcome = add the data
     } else if ("update".equals(action) {
          // outcome = update existing data
     } else else if ("delete".equals(action) {
          // outcome = delete existing data
     } else {
          // unsupprted action
     return outcome;
}

That effect can sometimes occur if a post has been edited by a host. Can you tell if any changes been made to the original post since you replied to it, Robert?
