Answer 1

Yes, that did work. I casted my event into a LinkClickEvent and then was able to pull out the id of the link that was clicked. I tried the getRef, getAction, and getComponentName methods. The getComponentName method gave me the name of the link that was clicked. The getRef method returns null, and the getAction method returns what's listed between the double quotes after onClick in the jsp page:
onClick="contactLinkClick"
So, in other words, getAction returns "contactLinkClick".
Here's what my onContactLinkClick method now looks like in the dyn page:
public void onContactLinkClick(Event event) throws PageException {
     LinkClickEvent l = (LinkClickEvent)event;
     String ref = l.getRef();
     String action = l.getAction();
     String compName = l.getComponentName();
     System.out.println("ref = " + ref);
     System.out.println("action = " + action );
     System.out.println("compName = " + compName);
     nextJSP = "ContactDetails.jsp";
     }     // end method onContactLinkClick
Now I'll be able to grab the id of the link that was clicked and therefore the id in the arraylist of objects. Thanks for your help!
