You can use the html:link tag to pass parameters. The example shows how to
pass a single parameter, there is another method involving a Map that lets
you pass multiple key/value pairs as parameters.
<logic:iterate id="restaurant" name="restaurants">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<html:link paramId="restaurantId" paramName="restaurant"
paramProperty="restaurantId" page="/viewRestaurantDetail.do"><bean:write
name="restaurant" property="restaurantName"/></html:link>
</td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
