Unsafe URLEncoding in RequestUtil

           Summary: Unsafe URLEncoding in RequestUtil
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Utilities
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: joachim.gjesdal@ecomda.de


RequestUtil uses java.net.URLEncode.encode(String key) which is for good reasons
depricated jdk1.4. I find myself writing scriptlets as a workaround to "help"
the html:link tag with this problem. My suggestion is to use something like this
in RequestUtil while we are waiting for jdk1.4.

    
private String utf8andURLEncode(String key){
        byte b[] = key.getBytes("utf-8");
        String encodedKey = new String (b);
        return URLEncoder.encode(encodedKey);
    }


or with jdk1.4 
java.net.URLEncoder.encode(key,"utf-8");

thanks, 

Joachim Gjesdal
