They will be urlencoded by whatever does the post

<div>
So &lt;%@page contentType=&quot;text/html&quot; pageEncoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;%&gt; will encode all post request parameters ?
</div>


So <%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> will encode all post request parameters ?

Thanks for the clarification

Hello,<br />
I have a spring app which accepts sql statements thru a gui / post request.<br />
The statements can have MS smart quotes like<br />
Select ’02-may-2011’,’dd-mon-yyyy<wbr />’ from dual;<br />
<br />
I was anticipating substituting the smart quotes on the server side with normal quotes,<br />
but &nbsp;debugging the statement at the request reveals that a substitution has already been done with the '?box' = 63 char for any smart quote.<br />
<br />
My question is who or what (spring, http request etc) automatically changes the smart quotes to boxes in between the post and the request ? <br />
<br />
Also is there a way of preventing this so I can see them on the server side and do my own sub ?<br />
thanks

MS smart quote substitution

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
