Either I haven't been clear, or the API docs are unclear. I want to be able
to pass an arbitray number of Strings (which happen to be URLs) as
parameters to my servlet upon it's initialization, so I was thinking that I
could put all the Strings into one parameter, delimited by some character.
It doesn't look like the Encoder/Decoder can treat an array of URL's, but I
guess I'm missing the point here...
Also, I guess the Decode would be called in the servlet's init method, but
where does the Encode happen?
