Remember that JSP is merely a templating technology to create HTML pages to send to the browser.

So what beyond using the <a> tag to create links do you want to know?

Creating URLs for anchor tags is easy using the JSTL <c:url> action, but beyond that, you'll need to be more specific regarding what you need help with.

A simple example from a presentation I did on the subject:

 
<c:url value=�${baseUrl}� var=�theUrl�>
  <c:param name=�param1� value=�${someValue}�/>
  <c:param name=�param2� value=�${otherValue}�/>
</c:url>
 
<a href="${theUrl}">Click me!</a>
    

More information is, of course, available in the JSTL specification.

You're actually passing one parameter in your example. A parameter called "uri".

Of course. After all, a JSP page is just an HTML template.
