Description

When i use display colum and specify href its not
handling special characters properly. That means
suppose i have url like
http://localhost:8080/test/viewTest.action?
action=viewTest&name=Raja&Siva


it should treat Raja&Siva as single name but it is not
treating like that. it treading only Raja as value.


Can anybody Veryfiy that.


Pl. correct me if i m wrong.

testcase added to cvs, cannot reproduce the problem:
if you use:
<display:column property="ant" url="/dynlink" paramId="param" paramProperty="ampersand" />
where the param property ampersand resolve to the String "Raja&Siva", the following link is generated: /context/dynlink?param=Raja%26Siva (note the escaped & = %26 for iso-88591)

if you are adding the parameter directly in the href parameter, like: "/dynlink?param=Raja&Siva" this will be correctly understood as 2 separate parameters, unless you take care of escaping the ampersand.

I am having this same problem.

here is the url that is being generated fropm my display:column property="name", href="/detail.do"
paramId="name" paramProperty="name". In this case name will = "MARGY & TEST"
the url generated is below
 notice the spaces are escaped but the &' is not

localhost:9080/Detail.do?name=MARGY%20&%20TEST.


Is there some server setting or version issue that I am dealing with.
