encode href attributes for NetUI tags
-------------------------------------

         Key: BEEHIVE-488
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-488
     Project: Beehive
        Type: Bug
  Components: NetUI  
    Versions: V1Beta    
    Reporter: Carlin Rogers
 Assigned to: Carlin Rogers 
     Fix For: V1


This comes from the discussion on the dev alias about 
properly encode the href attribute in some of the NetUI 
tags, such as anchor, rewriteURL, image, etc. 

Currently we do not perform any encoding on the string
defined for the href attribute of these NetUI tags. A developer
provides the href with the properly escaped characters
as needed. However, we do encode the names and values
of the NetUI parameter tag (with URLCodec) for multibyte
and other URI characters that need to be escaped.

To make this more consistent, I've got a patch to change the 
default behavior to encode the href attributes of the NetUI tags,
such as anchor, rewriteURL, image, etc.

The patch will also modify the rewriteURL tag so that it 
correctly supports the use of the parameter tag to allow
finer control of the encoding of parameters in the 
query of the URL. For example, using multibyte or other
characters that need to be escaped for proper URL syntax.
