Laurie, I am also looking into similar thing. Doesn't that call for an extra database hit. What if the row contains all the possible values that are to be displayed on the edit page? Is there a way I can just send the entire row-object instead of the primary key/id?

You'll need to include a row ID (preferably the primary key column from the database, but anything that uniquely identifies the row is fine) as a property in your form bean to use in the URL the 'edit' link submits. If your table is already wrapped in a form, you can just add a button (or an input of type 'submit') on each row, using the row ID as the request parameter value for the button. If not, you can either add a wrapping form, add a separate form on each row. Alternatively, use a link instead of a button, which will work whether you have forms on the page or not.
