SendRedirect and url encoding

When I am migrating a web application from tomcat to wls7.0, I am puzzled
          because I need modify the code to encode every redirect Url like below.
          response.sendRedirect("t1.jsp?id="+java.net.URLEncoder.encode(s));
          I think I must miss something in configuration for wls7.0.
          Any suggestions?
          thanks.
          wy.

Ia a jsp I use this.
<%
String pg = request.getParameter("path");
if (pg == null) {pg = "search.jsp";}
pageContext.forward(pg);
%>I dont think you need to encode, unless you are experiencing problem????

XSL and url encoded data issue

I have a large XML document, which has the data in it URLEncoded to escape the nasty chars.
When I run it through the xalan XSL parser and feed the output to the browser in my servlet, the resultant html has the URLEncoded chars in it. For instance the '/' is still showing up at %2F etc... However, if I can't URLDecode the whole xml document. Is there a simple way for decode the URL chars, without doing too much trickery?
Thanks!

You can URL-encode XML data if you like, whatever you mean by "nasty chars" I don't know. The result is perfectly legitimate XML and XSLT will translate it perfectly well. But it won't decode it, that is none of its business. I suppose it would be possible to write an XSLT function to do URL-decoding, but my preference would be to do that some other way. Or not to URL-encode in the first place.

URL Encoding and UTF8

Hello Friends,
I have been working on this problem for some time now. I have a web page that has forms fields like first name, last name etc. and then posts the data back to a servlet that writes it into a file that is utf-8 encoded. The web page has charset specified as utf-8. I was assuming that data would be sent back in the url as utf-8. I entered some japanese data copied from a japanese web page. When I looked at the file into which the form data was written I saw that it wasn't even close to utf-8 or unicode encoding of the data I had posted. For eg. I entered a japanese character: '\u4F1A' which is utf-8 encoded as 'E4 BC 9A'. But the data written into the file is '25 45 34 25 42 43 25 39 41'. This is of course because the data is url encoded which is '%E4%BC%9A', since 45 is hex for E, 34 is hex for 4 and so on. Now the question is how is it that I proceed to get the right utf data back. I am using a jrun server. Is there something that I need to set here in order to get the right characters back.

The UTF-8 encoded sequence of bytes of the character '\u4F1A' is {-E4, -BC, -9A}, and the character '-' is (char)0x2d instead of (char)0x25. And I suppose 25 should be 2d.

Sending document to oracle xml gateway web service and body is url encoded

Hello,
a question from a complete newbie to web services. I have some code that is sending a soap message to an oracle xml gateway web service. In the soap message the values in the soap body look like &lt ;CNTROLAREA&gt ;
when I would be expecting <CNTROLAREA>. What I have been told is that the content of the ReceiveDocument element has been url encoded which causes the &lt and to correct it I need to change the paramater type from object to xmlnode and to build the request as an xmldocument. The xmlnode and xmldocument comes from a .net guy so I've been trying to find the equivalent in java but am not having any luck. I have a lot of reading to do but was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how to correct the problem. I captured the soap message being sent using tcpmon. Why does the body have the &lt instead of the < as I was expecting and is there an xmldocument type? The header part of the soap message looks as I expect. "><soapenv:Header><ns1:XMLGateway_Header xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/fnd/XMLGateway"><ns1:MESSAGE_TYPE>XML</ns1:MESSAGE_TYPE>. It is being sent as a com.oracle.xmlns.apps.fnd.XMLGateway.XMLGateway_Header type.
thanks
Thanks

URL Encoding and Decoding in OSB

Hi,
Do we have out-of-box solution in OSB to decode XML which is URL encoded and encode XML to URL encoding. If so how can I do it.
This might be basic question. I am unable to figure out. new to OSB.
Thanks
Sham.

Hi Sham,
Probably these are what you looking for...
fn-bea:inlinedXML()
fn-bea:serialize()
fn-bea:serialize() to represent an XML document as a string
fn-bea:inlinedXML() to parses textual XML and returns an instance of the XQuery 1.0 Data Model.

URL Encode and Decode

Hi Experts,
My Oracle Version:
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE     11.1.0.7.0     Production

5 rows selected.I got the requirement to check any URL encode and decode methods available in common for O racle and PHP,
Since URL will be encoded in database at the time of retreiving data from database but it will be decoded in PHP without db connection.
Hope my scenario will be clear to you, is any common function available in oracle and php for this process?

but escape, unescape just adds %20 for empty space in the URLwell it does a bit more: it escapes all special characters that should not be in a URL, e.g.
SQL> select utl_url.escape('#^|%µ ') escaped_url from dual
ESCAPED_URL
%23%5E%7C%25%B5%20
1 row selected.Can you give an example of how you want a completely converted url, and why?

Guestname coming from session, not from parameter, and it's URL-encoded. Need it decoded.

We have a hosted account for Adobe Connect. When users want to enter a room, they go to a URL like this:
http://connectpro12345678.na5.acrobat.com/rereview/?launcher=false&guestName=John%20Smith
This drops them into the meeting room, but the name is listed under Participants as
John%20Smith
rather than the desired John Smith.
I've determined that the URL-encoded name is coming from the session, because when I deleted the BREEZESESSION cookie and hit the meeting room directly, using a URL like:
https://connectpro12345678.adobeconnect.com/_a963369417/rereview/?launcher=false&guestName =Michael%20Van%20Kleeck
the guest name is displayed appropriately.
How can I force Connect to either decode the guestname or to use the guestname from the parameter, rather than the session?
Thanks!
-Michael

You shouldn't be using the naX.acrobat.com URLs. These URLs are redirecting to the new adobeconnect.com URLs, which may be where you are seeing the issues. You shouldn't need to use your account ID (_a963369417) so your links should look like: http://connectpro12345678.adobeconnect.com/review/?launcher=false&guestName=John%20Smith

Url and File Encoding

I have the following scenario:
I have a directory which has directory names and filenames encoded in what I believe is utf-8 (the content is html). The files are derivates of DMOZ/World so they are in various languages. I can see accent marks and cryllic/greek, etc in the windows file explorer.
I need to zip this directory up (using java) and then upload it to a server and then unzip it using php. I am uncertain what encoding the server is using.
Do I UTF-8 Urlencode the file names and file paths and then zip and upload?
If so then do I need to also urlencode the links within the html?
thanks

It's not a bug, it's a lack of a feature.
The design of the Zip format requires a filename to be stored as bytes in the archive, but doesn't specify what encoding should be used to do that. Back in the days when the format was invented, that didn't matter because you could only use ASCII characters in filenames anyway.
Then when Unicode started infiltrating file systems, there was nobody powerful enough to fix the format by specifying an encoding, and the big players in the archiving field didn't care because the way they did it was de facto correct anyway as far as they were concerned.
I don't know how Microsoft and WinZip encode their filenames these days, but at any rate Java's zip classes don't even provide the option to specify an encoding. I am pretty sure that several bug reports have been filed in regard to this missing feature but I don't believe anything has been done yet.

URL encode a string before redirecting it

I want to URL encode a string before I sendRedirect it.
What must I do? I have tried this but it did not work.
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("showAddAMember?century=" + country + "&stte=" + state + "&city=" + city + "&course=" + course + "&coursename=" + coursename + "&messagename=" + messagename + "&TFM=" + worker + "&admin_type=" + admin_type)); The URLEncoder.encode is deprecated so I can not use it or it is not wise to do so. What must I do to URL encode a string before redirecting it. I have written a simple method which temporarily takes care of this for me, but I want to use the accepted standard. Please somebody tell what I must do.

admin_type)); response.encodeRedirectURL() and .encodeURL() do not replace unsafe URL characters; I'm assuming that's what you want happening; they're meant to encode the session id in the URL for session tracking.
Quote from http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#encodeRedirectUrl(java.lang.String):
Encodes the specified URL by including the session ID in it, or, if encoding is not needed, returns the URL unchanged. The implementation of this method includes the logic to determine whether the session ID needs to be encoded in the URL. For example, if the browser supports cookies, or session tracking is turned off, URL encoding is unnecessary.
For robust session tracking, all URLs emitted by a servlet should be run through this method. Otherwise, URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies.
Like mentioned above, use the URLEncoder.encode() ( with two params ): http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html#encode(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)

Difference between sendRedirect and RequestDispatcher?

Difference between sendRedirect and RequestDispatcher?

I have a situation of needing to redirect a request to a URL that is outside of the container. The scenario is the following, we have a simple logging in servlet that takes some POST parameters (username, password, and other values.) Depending on the username and password, the logon request along with all its POST parameters need to be redirected integrally to another machine. How do i do a redirect with all my parameters intact? sendRedirect does not seem to have any (visible to me) mechanism to do this. We cannot send them on the URL as this will reveal things too easily to our users and we don't want them to bookmark the resulting page.
Thanks for any help,

Newbie ERROR- URL Encoded SQL Length exceeds allowed 32K limit

My SQL Query worked fine yesterday.( I'm still in developing mode)
I made a copy of it and put it into a text file.( Just to be sure I had it.)
Today When I tried to run it in APEX , I get error
URL Encoded SQL Length exceeds 32K limit.
Is there any way to tell how the size of my query ( for example 33K)
is using?
TIA

I had to put out some other fires for the last few days.
I'm trying to use it in SQL worksheet.
That is my entire error message. It does NOT have an Error #.

XML to URL Encoded (XSLT?)

I have some data in a Document object and need to convert it to URL encoded format so, for example this:
<share>
<code>GSK</code>
<price>13.34</price>
</share>
becomes something like...
&code=GSK&price=13.34& ...
I've been looking into doing this with XSLT but have run into difficulties. Do you think this is the best way of solving this problem, or is there another easier way?
Thanks.

I did something similar, basically takes a incoming XML file and output a HTML with certain link containing XML element value as query string. One of the things you have to be careful is, like Dr. Clap mentioned, to properly encode the value. I accompolished by using java extension in my XSL.
For example:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
          xmlns:encode="java.net.URLEncoder"
          extension-element-prefixes="encode"
          version="1.0">
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:variable name="myURL" select="concat('?blah=', encode:encode($myValueFromXML))" >
     </xls:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

URL Encoder not working in Netscape

Hi All,
I am using url encoding in my servlet for redirecting a request. The query string values has some spaces in them. The code I have used is shown below
String mname = "Jason Perry"
response.sendRedirect
("http://194.216.8.238:8081/merchant/merch.merchant?msgid=RP&mctid=1111242&totcp="+price.toString()+"&mname="+URLEncoder.encode(mname)+"&mtxnid=UY675432");
Please note that 194.216.8.238:8081 is an IP of another server located outside our network.
In Netscape the url is shown as http://194.216.8.238:8081/merchant/merch.merchant?msgid=RP&mctid=1111242&totcp=15
&mname=Jason Perry&mtxnid=UY675432
The space is not getting replaced with the plus.
But I have observed that if the redirection is to the same server on which the servlet is running, it works fine.
I am at loss as to why url encode is not working when routing the request to another server. I am using Netscape 4.77 .
This is works in IE fine.
Your inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Malini

Yeah had this problem before, use the java.net.URLEncoder class:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.net.URLEncoder"%>
<%
String url = "http://194.216.8.238:8081/merchant/merch.merchant?msgid=RP&mctid=1111242&totcp=15
&mname=Jason Perry&mtxnid=UY675432"
String encodedUrl = URLEncoder.encode(url);
response.sendRedirect(encodedUrl);
%>

Apache plugin url encoding

the following is on HP Apache-based Web Server/1.3.26
with the mod_wl.so from 6.1 sp3 proxying to a 6.1 sp3 backend and I tried setting
up QueryFromRequest ON to no avail.
I am having the following problem with the BEA proxy plugin for Apache. I have
a very simply scenario to demonstrate it. Lets say that you have the following
directory/file structure:
/applications
     /DefaultWebApp
          spaceLink.htm
          /space demo
               resource.htm
NOTE: There is a "space" in the "space demo" directory name.
Now, spaceLink.htm has a link to the file resource.htm in the "space demo" directory.
Here is the html:
<html> <body> click here </body> </html>
Now assume that apache is sitting in front of this BEA box and proxying requests
to the BEA box.
If the Apache-BEA proxy plugin is proxying the request to BEA, then the request
is made correctly from the browser to the proxy as:
GET /space%20demo/resource.htm HTTP/1.1
Notic the browser is correctly URL encoding the request.
BUT, the apache-BEA proxy plugin is incorrectly proxying the request to the BEA
box:
GET /space demo/resource.htm
Notice the Apache-BEA proxy is not URL encoding the request, so when BEA gets
it he thinks this is a request for "/space" and "demo/resource.htm" is the http
version.
This problem DOES NOT happen if I use the generic http proxy module provided with
Apache.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
Please get back to me if you have some information.
Thanks,

Problem in URL Encoding in J2ME

Hi,
I have a problem in URL Encoding in J2ME. As i read thru the J2ME APIs, i found that J2ME doesn't support it.
Or can i use the URL Encoding in J2SE to modify and put into J2ME?
Or someone out there have done such coding?
Reply me!
Thanks!...

like this:
public static String URLEncoder(String str) {
if (str == null) return null;
StringBuffer resultStr = new StringBuffer( str.length() );
char tmpChar;
for( int ix=0; ix<str.length(); ix++ ) {
tmpChar = str.charAt( ix );
switch( tmpChar ) {
case ' ' : resultStr.append( "%20" );
break;
case '-' : resultStr.append( "%2D" );
break;
case '/' : resultStr.append( "%2F" );
break;
case ':' : resultStr.append( "%3A" );
break;
case '=' : resultStr.append( "%3D" );
// System.out.println( "tmpChar = '=' " + "add %3D " );
break;
case '?' : resultStr.append( "%3F" );
// System.out.println( "tmpChar = '?' " + "add %3F " );
break;
case '#' : resultStr.append( "%23" );
break;
case '\r' : resultStr.append( "%0D" );
break;
case '\n' : resultStr.append( "%0A" );
break;
default : resultStr.append( tmpChar );
break;
return resultStr.toString();
