Hidden Input is giving null in servlet

This question has been asked before on the forum, but I am unable to figure out from that. So, I am passing a form to a servlet,

<form method="Post" action="../JDBCConnector">
        <label for="fname">First Name : &nbsp;</label>
        <input type="text" name="fname" id="fname">

        <label for="lname">Last Name : &nbsp;</label>
        <input type="text" name="lname" id="lname">

        <label for="uname">Username : &nbsp;</label>
        <input type="text" name="uname" id="uname">

        <label for="pswrd">Password : &nbsp;</label>
        <input type="password" name="pswrd" id="pswrd">

        <input type="hidden" name="hide" id="hide" value=1>
        <button type="submit" name="submitButton" id="submitButton">Submit &nbsp;</button>
    </form>

The servlet side code is,

String name = request.getParameter("hide");
        response.getWriter().print(name);
        String FNAME = request.getParameter("fname");
        response.getWriter().print(FNAME);

The output is

null TestName

Basically, I am getting a null value in the servlet for the hidden field. Can someone please tell what mistake I have made?
