Good idea.

EF> </hm:link>
Tag in your sample uses static values only - may be more flexible
approach is to use such construction as -
<hm:link href="request.do">
<hm:paramlink name="action" value="read" />
<hm:paramlink name="docref" sourceName="doc" sourceProperty="ref" />
This is the link for the request.
</hm:link>
sourceName - name of the bean and sourceProperty is property name to
retrieve value of docref parameter.
