Hello

String patronId = ""+1234 ;

out.println("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"bookId\" value=\"+bookId+\" size=\"25\">") ;

I guess you didn't understand me. Look to the difference between the following two statements:

out.println("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"bookId\" value=\"+bookId+\" size=\"25\">") ;

and

out.println("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"bookId\" value=\""+bookId+"\" size=\"25\">") ;

In the first you're handling the bookId variable as String, in the second it will use the actual value of bookId.
