    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mutualfund", "root", "");


    Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    String uname = request.getParameter("uname");
    out.println(uname);
    out.println("Editing "+uname);
    String query="SELECT * FROM `cust_info_table` WHERE `cust_id`=\""+uname +"\"";
    ResultSet resultset =  statement.executeQuery(query) ;

Solution

div class="bar">
 <div class="menulink"><a href="index.html">Home</a></div>
            <div class="menulink"><a href="savingsAccount.jsp?username=<%=request.getParameter("uname")%>">Savings</a></div>
            <div class="menulink"><a href="#">FAQ</a></div>
            <div class="menulink"><a href="#">Help</a></div>
 </div>
</div>

And in the savingsAccount.jsp you can get this parameter using:

String uname = request.getParameter("username");

[APPU cool]

its going to savingsaccount true... but unfortunately username is taking null i mean request.getParameter("username") ; is giving null value!!! meaning thevalue is not taken

[MaVRoSCy]

its taking null because this request.getParameter("uname") is null most probably. Check it out.
