Hi all!
I am having a problem passing parameters with spaces in the middle to
servlets.
I tried encodeUrl but it does not seem to encode the spaces with +'s. So I
looked up the archive and found that I could use the URLEncoder.encode
method. Well, this method seems to be working fine as far as converting the
spaces to +'s go but when I try to do an encodeUrl of that string and a
sendRedirect it seems to be failing. Here is what I am trying to do,
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeUrl(java.net.URLEncoder.encode(sURL)));
And for one of the cases with spaces here is what I get,
500 Internal Server Error
The servlet named invoker at the requested URL
http://localhost/servlet/polyx.application.FileDeleteServlet?AREAID=A1&DOCUM
ENTID=4&FILENAME=Article+Writer+Functional+Specifications.doc
reported this exception
polyx.application.FileDeleteServlet?AREAID=A1&DOCUMENTID=4&FILENAME=Article+
Writer+Functional+Specifications.doc:
polyx.application.FileDeleteServlet?AREAID=A1&DOCUMENTID=4&FILENAME=Article+
Writer+Functional+Specifications.doc. Please report this to the
administrator of the web server
when I click the URL[above url that comes in the error message] in the
browser it works! Can somebody tell me how to go anbout handling spaces?
IE seems to encode the URL directly without the use of the URLEncoder but
including the URLEncoder.encode methid it does not work in IE either.
Thanks and advance
Vinay
