Further research shows that the link is converted to html which does not
accept objects, only strings. So it looks like I need to pass in a string
that will be used to identify the data I need. I should have an Action to
take the string id from the request object and generate an object with the
data I want and then pass control to the jsp that will display it.
Is this the best way to do this? Is there an easier way?
I could use an object cache to eliminate the need to recreate the objects
each time they are created (the data is static).
Thanks

Subject: (Newbie) html:link passing an object via the request object
I need to assign an object to the request object via an html:link
I am iterating over a collection of objects as such:
<logic:iterate id="doc" name="listofdocs" scope="session"
type="app.TiaaDocument">
I would like to assign the object represented by "doc" into the request
object as part of the html:link (shown below as it currently exists.
<html:link forward="editxml"
paramId="tiaaDocument"
paramName="doc"
scope="session">
Edit
</html:link>
Can anyone give me some guidance?
Thanks
Glenn
