You could just pass it as a query parameter in your link. I believe embedding a scriplet like that is possible.

<a href="/JobPortal/AppliedJob?<% out.println(j.getJob_id()); %>" type="button"...

However, you should really consider to not use scriptlets for what you are doing here. This is much cleaner / easier if you do it with jstl.

e.g.

<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<c:forEach items="${alist}" var="job">
    <tr>      
        <td>${j.getJob_id()}</td>
        <td>${j.getCompany_name()}</td>
        ...
        <td><a href="/JobPortal/AppliedJob?${j.getJob_id()}" ...></a></td>
    </tr>
</c:forEach>

So ,how do I access it in the servlet – Tom May 15 '22 at 10:05 — Tom, May 15 '22 at 10:05
