Simplest way to setAtributte on href link in JSP

Question

I'm building a small webpage that serves as a Database gestor in pure JSP. I want that, when you click a href link, there's a session atributte set to the name of a table of the database to dispatch all tables with the same code:

<body>
    <h1><%="Logistics"%></h1>
    <br/>
    <a href="insert.jsp"><%session.setAttribute("table","product");%>Products</a>
    <br/>
    <a href="insert.jsp"><%session.setAttribute("table","supplier");%>Suppliers</a>
    <br/>
    <a href="insert.jsp"><%session.setAttribute("table","order");%>Orders</a>
</body>

What I wants looks something like this. This works but obviously is always order that gets stored. I want pure JSP with no servlet or other dispatcher. Is this possible?

Okay it was pretty easy:

On jsp with the link:

<a href="insert.jsp?val=product">Products</a>

On the receiver just retrieve as:

<%=request.getParameter("val")%>
