escape a URL within a sevlet - how?
Hi all,
I am trying to generate a set of name/value pairs that will be tacked
onto the end of a generated URL like this:
url.html?name1=value1&name2=value2
These name value pairs have to be escaped first (problem characters
converted to %HH) before they are added to the URL - I am looking for an
object within either the servlet or jsp classes that will do this for me
(I cannot find such an object in the docs, although I might be looking
through it).
Can anyone point out an object I can use?
Regards,
Graham

You might try something like the encode(String) method from the
java.net.URLEncoder class or search through the Java API docs. I'm not sure
if the method you're looking will be found in the HttpServlet class. Good
luck and let me know how it tuns out.

Hi Graham:
Java has what you need as part of the standard API:
String EncodedStr = java.lang.URLEncoder.encode(PlainStr);
