Jsp <html:link building of an url

[Avram Adriana]

Hello!
I have a problem in sending some information from one jsp to another.
The case is:
- i have a page (jsp) in which i have information from a database.
- this information is in a table.
at the beginning of the page i have a button named "search" which makes submit to the form and practically interrogates the database for datas from a given day.
- each line from the table has a button named "edit" and when this button is pressed it goes to another jsp. The patch to this jsp is given like this: >html:link page='<%="/servlet_name_for_jsp2.do?op=smth&.... and in the section "..." i have parameters which i want to send from one page to another;
- i also have for each line some checkboxes and the point is that when i check three for example, i want their value to be sent when i press the edit button for one of them.
- i managed to do this but only when i press the search button: i check three of them, i press the search button (makes the submit), then i press the edit button and because i saved in session the list of checked values, it puts this list in the url.
- now the problem is that the user cand-t do this, so i have to generate this list when i press the edit button.
how do i do this?
Thanks!

Hi Avram, welcome to javaranch.

I couldn't understand your problem properly, but you should use forms instead of hyperlinks for your edit button. You must have multiple rows which must look like this

<form action="servlet_name_for_jsp2.do">
<input type="checkbox" name="first" value="myFirst" />
<input type="checkbox" name="second" value="mySecond" />
<!--any other information-->
<input type="submit" />
</form>

That way the values of your checkboxes will go into the request to the second page...
