Help with sending parameters

Question

I have a datatable of which two columns(Name and Department) were made as URL , where on clicking goes to next page. When I click on Name, it should pass a paramaeter(save). When I click on Department , it should pass other parameter (copy)
<h:datatable value = �#{employerInformation.empInfos}� var = �empTable�
<h:commandLink immediate ="true" onmouseover="setParams(Emp,'Select','Employer')" action = "#{controller.control}" >
                                                                 <f:param name="empIdValue" value="#{empTable.empId}" />
                                                                 <f:param name ="save" value = "{param.save}" />// This is the save param I want to pass when I click on this
                                                                 <h:outputText styleClass="user" value="#{empTable.name}"/>
</h:commandLink>
The same way..I have a command link where I am passing copy parameter.
For this I have getters and setters for Save and Copy in my dto (EmployerInformation).
Also, I n faces-config..
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name> employerInformation </managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>dtc.dto. EmployerInformation </managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>save</property-name>
<value>#{param.save}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>copy</property-name>
<value>#{param.copy}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
How can I get the value of save and copy on next screen when I click on respective links. When I click on Name..how can I get the �save� on next screen.
Any suggestions

Hi Raymond,
I have <h:column> whici forgot to add in the poost. Also, since it would take soem time for you to go through all the code, I have cut and paste the part of the code.
For more information..i have pasted the respective HTML code when I try for different values. Iss there any thing in my faces-config.xmal file with respective to save.
If the code is <f:param name ="save" value = "#{param.save}" /> the respective generated HTML code is this
document.forms['gdotCip']['save'].value='null
<f:param name ="save" value = "#{save}" />
document.forms['gdotCip']['save'].value='null
any suggestions are a lot helpful
Thanks again..
