No. That's wrong.
You should simply encode the action of the form.
For example, if the form looks like this:
<form method="POST" action="http://myserv/myservlet">
then the servlet, or JSP that outputs the page should be doing this:
out.println("<form method=\"POST\" action=\"");
out.println(response.encodeURL("http://myserv/mysevlet"));
This will produce the following:
<form method="POST" action="http://myserv/myservlet?SESSIONID=XXXX">
When the browser submits the form it will automatically multiplex the
form fields and the query specified in the action field.
At least... that's the theory.
There was a debate here some time ago about the best method for
encoding session, I'm sure that path extensions won and I'm surprised
the JRUN team hasn't moved over yet.
However, that wouldn't make any difference to your problem, you'd
still have to encode the action URL.
