Sending hidden input field values comes back null

I have one input field that is hidden. I'm using it as a placeholder to send the value to a scriptlet. Like below, but the value of the hidden field is always null. When I remove the hidden tag everything works correctly. 

  <form method=post action="test.jsp">

  <input type="hidden" name="name" id="name" >

  <button class="button primary" type="submit">Submit</button></form>

Then in scriplet getting the value, but it is nullpointer exception

           <%
            String x = null;

            x  = request.getParameter("name");

            %>

You should specify a value for your input hidden field. Something like:

<input type="hidden" name="country" value="Norway">

Try it
