RE: html:link with Map parameters generating & instead of &

[Alex Jones]

It's to do with & being a reserved character in HTML. I had the same
problem but got round it by writing a method a bit like the following:

public String getParameter(HttpServletRequest request, String paramName)
{
  String paramValue = request.getParameter(paramName);
  if (paramValue == null) return request.getParameter("amp;" +
paramName);
  else return paramValue;
}

Subject: html:link with Map parameters generating & instead of &

Hi,

I've tried this with Struts 1.0.1 and Struts 1.0.2 and both do the same
thing.

  <%
       HashMap summaryLinkParms = ...
       pageContext.setAttribute("summaryLinkParms", summaryLinkParms);
  %>
  <html:link href="index.jsp" name="summaryLinkParms">
  inventory summary
  </html:link>

The above creates a URL in which the parameter seperator is &amp;
instead of
&!

<a href="index.jsp?param1=blah&amp;param2=bleh">inventory summary</a>

I want

<a href="index.jsp?param1=blah&param2=bleh">inventory summary</a>

What's up?
