If I understand your question right, what you want to do is the followings:
The link and text of
<a href="...">the text</a>
need to be dynamically constructed.
The data, I assume, comes from either DB directly or the business layer of your
system. Having a bean such as
class whatever {
private String text, link;
// ...
}
construct an instance of the bean before reach the page and retrieve the value by
using JSTL tags.
