Why don't you use another jsp to delegate the requests
to the correct jsp page? Every time user clicks on any
of the vendors it will go to thru this jsp. It will be
between vendors.jsp and vendorparts.jsp. This jsp will
not have any ui part but just the logic to forward to
vendorparts.jsp and to set the bean with the correct
vendor name. This is more elegant and cleaner approach
I think.
Good luck
