You need to encode the '&' (and it wouldn't hurt to encode the '?' either)
in your url using the matching character entity. You have to do this
manually in your HTML:
<A
HREF="mysevlet?name=bob&age=23&url=http://blah.com/runme?a=b&c=7">

Subject: How can I get parameters with '&' in it ?
> Hello all,

> I have a servlet that reads in parameters from a get request. The

> for example:
>
> <A HREF = "mysevlet?name=bob&age=23&url=http://blah.com/runme?a=b&c=7">
>
> in myservlet i get
> name:bob
> age:23
> url:http:..runme?
> a:b
> c:7
>
> What's the fix so I only get three parameters?
