how do I invoke action with the given object in struts 2 and jsp?

On one page I have a list of Destinations (read cities). When I click on one, I need to navigate to an action/result pair that would spit out the Destination details.

(I'm using struts 2)

Menu.jsp:

 <s:iterator value="destinations">
         <li> <s:property value="name" /> </li>
 </s:iterator>

where destinations is a Set in MenuAction.java.

Destination.jsp

Name: <s:property value="destination.name" />

where destination is a property in DestinationAction.java.

How do I wrap the destinations on Menu.jsp so that I can pass on the Destination object from Menu.jsp to DestinationAction ?

From Umesh's comments, this is what I ended up using:

<ul>
         <s:iterator value="destinations">
            <li>
                <s:url action="Destination" var="urlTag">
                <s:param name="id"> <s:property value="id" /> </s:param>
                </s:url>
                <a href="<s:property value="#urlTag" />" > 
                    <s:property value="name" /> 
                </a> 
            </li>
         </s:iterator>  
</ul>

Instead of passing the destination object from JSP to Action, pass only the name property ( and other properties according to your need). In Menu.jsp use links like this:

<s:iterator value="destinations">
     <li> 
          <a href='DestinationAction.action?destination.name=<s:property value="name" />' > 
             <s:property value="name" /> 
         </a> 
     </li>
</s:iterator>
