[Raghupathy, Gurumoorthy]

one way to fix this...     <form method="post" name="forma" action="/servlet/Myservlet"> ************* <input type = "hidden" name ="page" value = "MainDir/jsptemplates/MainIndexSearchPage.jsp" > ******************** <input type="text" name="search"> <input type=submit" name"search"> </form> please note that the action is changed from /servlet/Myservlet?page=MainDir/jsptemplates/MainIndexSearchPage.jsp to /servlet/Myservlet     regards guru     ( and one thing i think you are good at servlet but lack the basics of how get and post work .... )   ( sorry but you are doing wrong way of development because action should be the servelet and all others should be in hidden types if you are usign a form ) ....       -----Original Message----- From: GW [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 May 2002 15:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: strange url anyone have an idea Hi all   I would like to know if anyone has an idea why this happens:   I have a servlet entry in my web.xml:   <servlet>   <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>   <servlet-class>path.to.Myservlet.class</servlet-class>   <init-param>         <param-name>propertiesLocation</param-name>         <param-value>path.to.properties.file</param-value>   </init-param> </servlet>   the properties file holds info about the path to the jsp to be served etc... when I make the request:   www.localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet?page=MainDir/jsptemplates/MainIndexSearchPage.jsp&search=dfgfdg   everything works fine... with getParameter("search");   dfgfdg is returned.   Now when I insert this form:   <form method="post" name="forma" action="/servlet/Myservlet?page=MainDir/jsptemplates/MainIndexSearchPage.jsp"> <input type="text" name="search"> <input type=submit" name"search"> </form>   I get an error 500 (internal server) with a url displayed like this   http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet?url=%2Fservlet%2FmyServlet%3Dsearch=dfgfdg%2Fjsptemplates%2FMainMovieSearchPage.jsp&Search.x=17&Search.y=10   it looks like the url gets build up again for some reason i know the %2F etc... characters is the browsers interpretation of special characters.     does anyone know why this happens?   Kind Regards GW
