Answer 1

Use jQuery attr like below:

<html:text property="name" styleClass="form-control" styleId="abc" />

JavaScript code:

$(function() {
    $("#abc").attr("placeholder", "some text");
});

Answer 2

Just replace:

<html:text property="name" styleClass="form-control" placeholder="some text" />

With:

<input type="text" name="property" class="form-control" placeholder="some text"
                             │
                             └─── Form property ────┐
                                                    │
       value="<bean:write name="name" property="property" />" />
                                  │                
               Name of form-bean ─┘                

The value of the attribute name must match the property of your form to trip in the request.
