A facelets function worked great, thanks for reminding me about that!
For anyone else interested in this, java.net.URLEncoder converts " "
into "+" as per the HTML specification for form URL encoding. I wanted
URL encoding (" " to "%20") as per the URL specification. So you do
need a bit of your own code:
public static String encode(String s) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
return java.net.URLEncoder.encode(s, "UTF-8").replaceAll("\\+", "%20");
}
