how to hide password character in text field

Question

I know how to let user input their password with input type="password" field in JSP. But I get their input password using servlet, it would show all characters. How do you hide these characters in regular HTML or JSP?

For instance, if I have

password: MKS09js5

how do I hide or make the password **? (This is not for search or input)

Solution

Hopefully this can help you.

<form:password path="password_field_name" value="my_password"/>
