Yeah, sure :-)<br />
<br />
You basically, can't have any special characters, spaces, &quot;?&quot;s, or &quot;&amp;&quot;s in your parameters, as the browser will think they are gaps in the url, or the start of a parameter list or the next parameter, etc<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
You have to encode the parameters so that they get read correctly by the browser<br />
<br />
The way to encode things is like this:<br />
<br />
%XX<br />
<br />
where XX is the ascii value of the special character<br />
<br />
So &quot;&nbsp;&quot; becomes &quot;%20&quot; <br />
<br />
and URLEncoder.encode does this for you :-)<br />
<br />
Hope you understand :-)<br />
<br />
Glad I could help :-)<br />

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
