If you use "method=post" I don't think you'll have a problem. If you need
to pass the "%" in the URL, i.e. "method=get" then perhaps
URLEncoder.encode() and URLDecoder.decode() will do what you need.

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
