Hi all
 
I would like to know if anyone has an idea why this happens:
 
I have a servlet entry in my web.xml:
 
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>path.to.Myservlet.class</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
        <param-name>propertiesLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>path.to.properties.file</param-value>
  </init-param>
</servlet>
 
the properties file holds info about the path to the jsp to be served etc...
when I make the request:
 
 
everything works fine...
with getParameter("search");
 
dfgfdg is returned.
 
Now when I insert this form:
 
<form method="post" name="forma" action="/servlet/Myservlet?page=MainDir/jsptemplates/MainIndexSearchPage.jsp">
<input type="text" name="search">
<input type=submit" name"search">
</form>
 
I get an error 500 (internal server)
with a url displayed like this
 
 
it looks like the url gets build up again for some reason
i know the %2F etc... characters is the browsers interpretation of special characters.
 
 
does anyone know why this happens?
 
Kind Regards
GW
