  • The only way to hide a query from the client is to run it on the server and send the results back to the browser. You could use a POST, but the request is still trivially retrievable from the console. – Dave Newton Mar 23 '18 at 13:07

You can use form tag and hide a parameter with the hidden input field then use URL with the parameter like in following answer.

This is the answer:

You can add a form to trigger a form submit event instead of default link's click event. A form should contain a hidden field to hold a parameter value. Then add javascript code to handle click event. 

<s:url action="custACDetails" includeContext="false" var="urlTag"/>
<s:set var="contextPath">${pageContext.request.contextPath}</s:set>
<s:a id="acno" href="%{#contextPath+#urlTag}"><s:property value="acno"/></s:a>
<s:form id="form" action="%{#urlTag}" method="POST">
  <s:hidden name="yourAc" value="%{acno}"/>
</s:form>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#acno").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      $("#form").submit();
    });
  });
</script>
