Re: problem passing a param to a servlet

[Carsten Lex]

Hi Kieran,
use java.net.URLEncoder.encode("tic=3,tac-4,toe=8","UTF-8");
to encode your parameters before writing to HTML
when you receive Parameter then you have to use
java.net.URLDecoder.decode(request.getParameter("strgame"),"UTF-8")

Hi,
I am trying to pass a parameter string of structure , "tic=3,tac-4,toe=8" into a 
servlet like as follows:
<a href="/myservlet?strgame=tic=3,tac=4,toe=8">
I had this working on a windowns platform before I realised I should have escaped the 
equals sign some way.Solaris platform tomcat threw a null pointer exception in 
handling this value for the parameter strhgame.Is there a way for the subsequent 
equals to be escaped so they can be seen as part of the value?
Thanks,
Kieran
