However, there are two ways you can append one or more dynamically defined query parameters to the hyperlink -- specify a single parameter with the paramId attribute (and its associated attributes to select the value), or specify the name (and optional property) attributes to select a java.util.Map bean that contains one or more parameter ids and corresponding values.
To specify a single parameter, use the paramId attribute to define the name of the request parameter to be submitted. To specify the corresponding value, use one of the following approaches: Specify only the paramName attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the paramScope attribute) must identify a value that can be converted to a String. Specify both the paramName and paramProperty attributes - The specified property getter method will be called on the JSP bean identified by the paramName (and optional paramScope) attributes, in order to select a value that can be converted to a String. If you prefer to specify a java.util.Map that contains all of the request parameters to be added to the hyperlink, use one of the following techniques: Specify only the name attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the scope attribute) must identify a java.util.Map containing the parameters. Specify both name and property attributes - The specified property getter method will be called on the bean identified by the name (and optional scope) attributes, in order to return the java.util.Map containing the parameters.

What I have tried to do is have a bean that I am using on the page context have a method that returns a Map object that contains all the keys and values for the parameters. Each parameter can be accessed through the toString() method as required. So, for example this is the class with the necessary code: public class MenuItem { /** * Empty constructor to conform to JavaBeans convention. * */ public MenuItem() { // empty default constructor } private Map params = new HashMap(); public Map getMenuParams() { return params; } ........ ...... Then, I try to get the html:link tag to call this bean with the paramProperty field being "menuParams". The logic:iterate tag enumerates through a set of menuItems which may well be causing problems. <jsp:useBean id="menu" scope="session" class="com.camp.common.menu.Menu"/> <logic:iterate id="menuitem" name="menu" property="menuItems"> <html:link action="/Menu" paramName="menuitem" paramProperty="menuParams"> <bean:write name="menuitem" property="menuName"/> </html:link> <br> </logic:iterate> Nothing gets inserted as expected. I do not really want to be creating a Map and adding parameters using a scriptlet but would rather have it call a Map object from the bean I have created. Does anybody have any better way of doing this or could somebody tell me where I am going wrong. I guess at the end of the day, I have searched on the Internet high and low for a way of being able to create dynamic parameterized urls using html:link within an iteration. Help anybody!!
