Hi all,

We use Struts action as the framework. When clicking on a hyperlink (with URL parameters containing % sign), recieved the exception (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException) as attached below.

Any idea or code examples how to pass URL parameters with % sign?

Thanks,

Wendy

I think you are running into an URL decoding issue.
There was a similar topic discussed at http://www.theserverside.com/discuss...thread_id=6837

the message at http://www.theserverside.com/discuss..._id=6837#21953 directly references a % character in the URL

The relevant code is...
e.g.

(assuming file name is being passed as a request parameter, i.e. http://myserver/foo.jsp?filename=abc%20123.txt)

In your JSP:

<%@ page import="java.net.*" %>
<%
...
String encodedFilename = request.getParameter("filename"); // isolate the filename in a variable
String decodedFilename = URLDecoder.decode(encodedFilename);
...
%>
