Two things:
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeURL() dosn't do anything
if you're not using sessions. Is that a correct statement?
The answer seems to be in URLEncoder.encode(); It does the job!
This is a static class method. Can I assume it's thread safe (i.e. it
only accesses stack variables)?
thanks again!!!
