Sorry for yet another follow-up.
I thought it was worth mentioning that the java.net.URLEncoder is used in
the following files:
Dri2xhtml/DIM-Handler.xsl
Dri2xhtml-alt/aspect/artefact/browser/COinS.xsl
Although they use the following:
<xsl:value-of select="encoder:encode(string(.), 'UTF-8')"/>
Not 100% sure if it's necessary to include the UTF-8 flag or not. According
to the docs
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html), "if an
encoding is not specified, then the default encoding of the platform is
used".
Suppose it can't hurt to include it.

Subject: RE: EncodeURLTransformer in XMLUI
Belay that last message! I figured it out!
In hindsight, I'm not sure how I thought the "EncodeURLTransformer" could
possibly do what I wanted it to do. After all, if it got something like:
a href="/browse?type=subject&value=buildings & structures"
It would be hooped. There's no way for it to know that "structures" is part
of "value" and not the beginning of its own key.
Of course, I don't think that "EncodeURLTransformer" was working anyway, or
at least wasn't working the way that the documentation makes it seem that it
would work. But whatever.
I did find a solution!
I noticed this line in one of my XSLTs:
xmlns:encoder="xalan://java.net.URLEncoder"
So I did a bit of research into Xalan and using Java functions in XSLTs
(I've only done it a bit with Perl and PHP in the past), and voila!
<xsl:value-of select="encoder:encode(string(.))"/>
Instead of <xsl:value-of select="."/> or <xsl:copy-of select="."/>.
The value that I'm adding into the URL is now URL encoded ^_^
Of course, using XSLT 2.0 would be preferable (as helix84 and other folks
have mentioned), but I don't want to deviate too much from the mainstream at
the moment.

Xalan looks quite powerful although I'm sure a person wouldn't want to go
overboard with using it to provide non-standard functions in a XSLT in the
event that we were to switch to Saxon or some other processor.

Subject: EncodeURLTransformer in XMLUI
Hi all:
Has anyone actually got the EncodeURLTransformer to work in the XMLUI?
I've created a custom theme based on Mirage. I've added the following into
my theme's map:components:
<map:transformers default="xslt">
<map:transformer name="encodeURL"
src="org.apache.cocoon.transformation.EncodeURLTransformer"/>
</map:transformers>
And I've added <map:transform type="encodeURL"/> before the final serialize
to xhtml.
There are still spaces in the URL and ampersand entities that should've been
URL encoded instead of HTML encoded.
I should mention that I'm trying to create "browse" links for specific
metadata values in the simple item record view.
I see that the Discovery browses are URL encoded, but it looks like that
happens at the Java level.
Any ideas, folks?
