<c:if test="${not empty urldata}"><a href="<c:out value='${urldata}'/>"><c:out value="${urldescription}"/></a></c:if>

Now isn't that a simple and clean bit of code?
Learn to use JSTL and ditch those scriptlets. They're 7 year old technology and no longer recommend.
In fact on any new project I ban the use of scriptlets, dictate JSTL is used exclusively.
Any JSP containing scriptlets gets thrown back to the programmer for rework.
