problem with using redirect tag

[kiatkin <ki...@yahoo.com>]

I'm trying to pass two value that retrive from cookie to a action class. Here is snipplet.

   <logic:present cookie="a">
    <bean:cookie id="c1" name="a"/>
        <% value = c1.getValue(); %>

          <logic:present cookie="b">
              <bean:cookie id="c2" name="b"/>
             <% String link = new StringBuffer()
                  .append("action.do?valueA=")
                  .append(c1.getValue())
                  .append("&valueB=")
                  .append(c2.getValue())
                  .toString();
              %>
          <logic:redirect href="<%=link%>"/>
     </logic:present>
</logic:present>

when i try to print out the quesy string in action class, it come out something like this

Query string is valueA=aaa&amp;valueB=bbbb

How come the 'amp;' is append after the '&' ?
FYI, i'm using the struts beta version now and these code work for me before i switch to beta version.

TIA

Yes, it appears to be a bug.  The "&" sequence is what you get when
you URL-encode a string containing an ampersand, and it looks like Struts
is doing that a little bit too aggressively.

Could you please report a bug to our bug tracking system?

	http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/

That way, it will be sure to be paid attention to.  Sometimes, bug reports
on the mailing lists get lost in the volume of messages.

Thx for reply.. but this causing me can't retrieve the second parameter
(valueB)

   servlet.log("value A "+ request.getParameter("valueA"));
   servlet.log("value B " +request.getParameter("valueB"));

The output is
value A aaa
value B null

It is bug?
