title: Spring MVC hidden date field does not get mapped to controller
body: <p>I am developing an update form. For this form I am loading a screen which first displays all the existing details and gives user option to edit. Now I have a field called createdOnTs which is a date field which I do not want the user to be able to update. So I have added an spring form hidden element in my form.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td&gt;&lt;form:hidden path="createdOnTs"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On checking value using firbug this field does have the value which it gets from DB. But when user submits update button and Spring controller which gets invoked in there the value is coming as null. How do I configure spring MVC to map the existing date hidden value?</p>
