How do I use jstl to insert links that passes sql info?

Question

Hi all,
I'm using JSTL with sql and I want to create a link for every row so that the link would also contain the item in the first column of every row. But I keep getting stuck at saving the value. This is what I've tried:
<c:set var="myName" value="test" scope="page"/>
<tr>
<c:forEach var="row" items="${name.rowsByIndex}">
     <tr>
<c:forEach var="column" items="${row}">
     <c:if test="row =='uname'">
          <c:set var="myName" value="${column}"/>
     </c:if>
     <td>myName=<c:out value="${pageScope.myName}"/>"> <c:out value="${column}"/> </td>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
I either get a link of "edit.jsp?uName=$myName".
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Introducing the <c:url> and <c:param> tags!
<c:url value="edit.jsp">
  <c:param name="uName" value="${myName}"/>
</c:url>Why the nested loops? When does row=='uname'? Could that ever occur?
If you are after a specific column why not have one loop over ${name.rows} and get ${row.uname}?
What server are you using?
What version of JSTL?
What is the taglib import you have made?
