Using a href link to pass parameters to servlet

I have a jsp file where in I have a String variable s. Now I want to pass this to a servlet using servlet. In the href tag i gave,

<a href="link?user= <%=s%> "> click me </a>

But it shows an error how else can I send this.

Please help me out..

Thanks

This should work fine, but there are some minor mistakes here, which I'm not sure whether they are due to mis-typing here or there are actually in your code.

First have your link like this:

<a href="link?user=<%=s%> "> click me </a>

See? No spaces. And as your variable is s, why using a?

Second in your servlet use this to receive the parameter:

request.getParameter("s")

Do you actually have the spaces like that? Try this: "> click me
