I'm using the <bean:write> tag to add parameters to a dynamically generated
URL used by some javascript on my JSP page. The problem with <bean:write>
is that it doesn't URL encode the result. In general, this is probably a
good thing. However, there are times when it would be nice to have the
value encoded. Would it be possible to add an additional optional tag to
WriteTag which would indicate whether the result was to be URLEncoded? The
default would be false which would not require any changes in current
code. Also, if there is an alternative way to get this functionality,
please let me know. Unfortunately I can't use the "link" tag in this
circumstance.
Basically I have a line in my file which looks like this:
<input type="button" ... onClick="self.location="foo.do?key='<bean:write
...>'">
In other words, I'm building up the parameters to the location URL based on
property values in a particular bean.
Thanks.
