JWS not recognising the property when its value contains % character

Question

Hi All,
We are seeing an issue with particular versions of Java Web Start like 1.5.0_15 and 1.6.0_06
The issue which we are facing is that Java Web Start is not recognizing the properties which contains % character.
For Example,.
<property name='user' value='chandra%'/>
<property name='version' value='1.1'</property>
<property name='sessionId' value='afg4l5n55%bn3'/>
<property name='cookie' value='abcdefghijk'/>
The properties with % character are not getting loaded
If I download the jnlp file, the property is there, if I choose show jnlp file in "javaws -viewer" it's not there.
This was working fine before we upgraded.
I would really appreciate if someone let me know whats happening.
Thanks,
Chandra

I am not surprised, based on ...

..this invalid snippet. I suggest that you, and every other person with a JNLP problem, to validate the JNLP against a DTD or XSD. Invalid JNLP files are acted on by the plug-in, usually, to some extent.. The problem is that the behavior may change from JRE version to version.
By the way, when posting code, or HTML or XML, it is usually better to use code tags by selecting the text and clicking the 'CODE' button above where you type.. E.G.
<property name='user' value='chandra%'/>
<property name='version' value='1.1'</property>
<property name='sessionId' value='afg4l5n55%bn3'/>
<property name='cookie' value='abcdefghijk'/>Edited by: AndrewThompson64 on Jun 5, 2008 12:16 PM
