Dynamic Links.

Hi Everyone,
To make the question as easy to understand as possible,I just describle my situation.
In my first JSP page, I create a link to database to derive a list of book name(it is not the problem), and I would like to make each book name in the list as a hyperlink to the second JSP page which display the description of that book. But I dont know how to generate the link from 1st JSP page to 2nd JSP page to display the desription. Just make it simple, the table has 2 columns, Book name and Book Description.
Thank you very much for your help. I am looking for your reply soon! Thanks again!

Hi,

While displaying your list of books, have the primary key of your Book table as a parameter in the link. Since you have mentioned that your table has only two columns, I assume that the name field is your primary key.

<A href="description.jsp?id=${book.name}">${book.name}</A>

Now in your second jsp, you have the primary key available as a request parameter. You can get its value and fetch the decsription from the table using this value as a key.

Easy peasy, here's one possible solution - when creating the link the the 2nd JSP do it like this 2nd.jsp?book=Moby%20Dick, then in the 2nd JSP get that request parameter and look it up in the database

Very happy to see your replies, Thank you very much, Let me try your solutions now ! Thanks again !
