Getting info from a link

I have a table setup like

ID   Name   Gender
1    John     M
2    Jane     F

Where the IDs are hyperlinks taking me to a servlet. I want to know was the number of the link the user clicked to get to the servlet, any idea how to achieve that? I tried putting a name inside the tag and then using request.getParameter("name") that but it always returns a null. The table is on a .jsp file.

getParameter("x") works if the hyperlink clicked had a parameter called x, like 

<a href="..../target.html?x=3">

for row three.
