Dennis, thank you very much for the prompt reply. I had a brief look at the example application but upon googling for a link tag in struts I found the following http://husted.com/struts/resources/linkParam.htm (source code included) This seems to be exactly what I need (had no time to try using it yet). I hope this will be useful to all that face similar problems.
