The name encodeURL() is actually a bit misleading, since this method
is used for "URL rewriting" (adding session ID info to a URL) as opposed
to "URL encoding" (encoding special characters in URL parameters).
If you want both URL encoding and URL rewriting, you need to do something
like this:
<%
String link="cuba2.jsp?Name=" +
java.net.URLEncoder.encode("Khoo Swee Chin");
%>
<A HREF="<%=response.encodeURL(link)%>"><%=link%></A>
In your example using the URLEncoder is overkill, since it's a static
parameter value that can as easily be encoded manually:
<% String link="cuba2.jsp?Name=Khoo+Swee+Chin"; %>
<A HREF="<%=response.encodeURL(link)%>"><%=link%></A>
If the parameter value is actually a variable, using the URLEncoder
makes more sense.
