The ampersand (&) is a special character in an URL, it separates parameters
in a query string. In order to include one in the data, you'll have to
URLEncode the string.

Subject: problem with sending paramenter to servlet
> Hi all,
>
> This may be a very simple question, please bare with me. I have
> problem sending parameter to servlet with the '&' character. I have no
> problem sending string such as:
>
> http://www.test.com/servlet/foo?param1+param2+param3
>
> At the servlet, it will receive "param1 param2 param3".
>
> However, if there is an '&' in between, the list will break right at the
> '&'. For example,
>
> http://www.test.com/servlet/foo?param1+param2+&+param3
>
> At the servlet, it will only receive "param1 param2 ". What should the
> '&' be replaced by?
>
> Your help is greatly appreciated.
