Re: embedding multiple parameters and associated values in a

[Kris Schneider]

Oh, I *do* consider links to be part of the view layer. I was really 
referring to the mechanics of creating and populating the maps that hold 
the parameters for the links. For instance, you could create a 
collection of maps (or "link beans" that encapsulate whatever data you 
need to render a link) in an action that operates on the request prior 
to the JSP instead of creating the maps on-the-fly in the JSP.

Personally, I think a custom tag would be overkill for something JSTL 
can handle pretty easily (assuming you're running in a JSP 1.2

<jsp:useBean id="editParams" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<c:set target="${editParams}"
       property="action"
       value="prepareEditForm"/>
<c:set target="${editParams}"
       property="accountId"
       value="${account.accountId}"/>
<html:link action="/editAccountForm" name="editParams">
  <c:out value="${account.systemName}"/>
</html:link>
From a pure MVC perspective, I suppose you could argue that even 
that's an abuse of the view layer...


Not if you consider links to be part of the view ;-).

Not a bad idea to create a custom tag to do this for
