how to get a variable from jsp and pass it to controller

[simplegal]

Hi,
I have the following JSP code snippet:

   <tr class="gRow"
	_paidId="<c:write name="pay" property="paid" />">

Now I need to pass the variable _paidId that has been initialized in JSP to a method in a controller. I dont want to use
request.setAttribute()
is there any other way? I am using spring mvc

u can use a hidden field and put the value in that and when you submit the form back to ur jsp, value will be in your jsp.
Or you can create a url and attach a parameter (name=value) that way you can pass the value to ur jsp as well...
