How does your customer system handle this? http://localhost:8080/aSite/aPage?query=I%fear%dead%results
badly, obviously :) Possible solutions: 1) You can still try in servlet 'aPage' to grab the request using request.getQueryString() which should returns you "query=hi%everybody" 2) You can write a servlet filter for /* which will create a new HttpServletRequest Object with parameters you parse in your way from the getQueryString() above 3) You can open tomcat source, patch the url decoder, and use it What ever solution is choosen, customer will be bound to a side effect of error handling in server. abdurrahman sahin a écrit : >hi David; >I am aware of the case.
