<a href="ProductController?linkValue=A" target="right">A</a>

And at the servlet use the "request.getParameter"

but, it doesnt read the value A...... how can i solve this?

I have this in my code:

<a href="loginservlet?action=logout">Logout</a>

String action = request.getParameter("action");

And it prints correctly the value "logout".

How do you map the servelt at the web.xml file? Are you sure there is nothing wrong?
