Odd tomcat 6.1.0 problem

Folks

I have an odd problem that occurs on TC6 running on fedora core 6.
Apache in fronting TC.

When I try to pass an HTML parameter from a JSP it is not in present in the request object for the 
receiving JSP. I get the following in catalina.out:

WARNING: Parameters: Character decoding failed. Parameter skipped.
java.io.CharConversionException: isHexDigit
         at org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.convert(UDecoder.java:88)
         at org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.convert(UDecoder.java:49)
         at org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.urlDecode(Parameters.java:410)
         at org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.processParameters(Parameters.java:392)
         at org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.processParameters(Parameters.java:344)
         at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.parseParameters(Request.java:2453)
         at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.getParameter(Request.java:1031)
         at org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade.getParameter(RequestFacade.java:355)
         ....


The param I am trying to pass is a simple text string.



Any ideas?


TIA - Adam

Sounds to me like there is a % sign in the parameter text which is not 
url encoded. Make sure you url encode the request url in your first JSP.
