JSP link submitting data to struts form bean

Question

I am making a JSP page that links to a page where it will pull a list of data from the database depending on the user who is logged in. I am using a DataSourceRealm type authentication so I pull the username with a request.geRemoteUser() and want to submit that to my form when I click the link but I cannot figure out how to do that, my link code is:

<li><html:link forward="showEnrolled">View Enrolled Classes</html:link></li>

And my form just needs the username to run. Is there anyway I can get it to send the username along with the forward?
