If you have a property called "foo" on a form bean called "MyForm", you can display this property as text on a jsp by writing the following:
<bean:write name="MyForm" property="foo" />
provided you have a <html:form name="MyForm"> tag prior to this statement.
You can also set up any javaBean for use by <bean:write> by including a <bean

efine> tag prior to the statement.
If you wish it to look like a text box but not allow input, you can use the "readonly" attribute of the <html:text> tag.
