Hi all

In my servlet application I need to allow users to use wildcards in 
queries. The Oracle wildcard character is the "%" so e.g. in the user 
could type street name as: "Uni%" instead of "University"
But if I use the "%", the URL parameters get messed up. For example 
if I have on my page textboxes STREET_NO and STREET_NAME and 
fill:
STREET_NO: 2%
STREET_NAME: UNI%

in the request URL I don't see STRETE_NO and STREET_NAME 
appears as: 2 TREET_NAME with unprintable character.
Sometimes the value is changed.

I believe the "%" has special use in servlet request/response. I guess I 
could change the wildcard to a "*" or something else. But wonder if 
there is a way to handle the % properly

Thanks

Witold
