Priya, As a short term solution you can create a new tag,as in myLibrary:link which derives from html:link and knows how to deal with AccountInfo bean. But if I may,I would suggest rethinking the architecture of your application, as in maintaining the AccountInfo object in session instead of passing it through URL encoding. Cheers Rahul

Since I already have all the information in a bean I was hoping on getting to know how to use beans instead of having to set attributes seperately.. I have a lot of attributes to set other than name, id, etc...all this will be passed around quite a lot..
