Hi,
This is an HTTP issue, or more specifically, a URL encoding issue,
for those who are going to take the good advice and dig the basic
underlaying technologies.
Java 2 provides standard interfaces to both encode and decode URL's.
(java.net.URLEncoder/java.net.URLDecoder). The servlet engine shall
do the decoding for you on the server side. You will still have to initiate
the encoding when you send URL's to the client.
Cheers,
--Amos Shapira
