You need to encode the value of the url parameter.
Look at the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(String url) method.
NOTE: you only want to encode the values, not the names, of the parameters. And it's
good practice to always do this.
Good luck.

Subject: How can I get parameters with '&' in it ?
Hello all,
I have a servlet that reads in parameters from a get request. The
problem is that one of the parameters is a url. If that url
has an '&' in it, then the parameters are split around it.
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?
thanks for your time!
