How to call a Servlet when I click on a Hyperlink

Question

On a JSP Page I have populated a table with some id's. I have made these ID's as hyperlink. Now i want that if I click on any id it should go to a servlet and that particular id should also be passed to the servlet.

Answer 1

Use this code in your JSP:

  <a href="<%=request.getContextPath() %>/servlet-url?id=<%=id %>">...</a>

to create a link which invokes the servlet at /servlet-url and passes the ID in the request parameter id.
