Class URLEncoder

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.ibm.as400.util.html.URLEncoder

  • public class URLEncoder
extends java.lang.Object
    The URLEncoder class encodes a string's delimiters for use in an HTML URL string.

    For example, the following HTML URL string is not valid and would need to be encoded: 

      http://mySystem.myCompany.com/servlet/myServlet?parm1="/library/test1#partA"&parm2="/library/test2#partB"

    The following example uses the URLEncoder class to encode two URL string parameter values: 

      HTMLForm form = new HTMLForm();
  String action = "http://mySystem.myCompany.com/servlet/myServlet";
  String parm1 = "parm1=" + URLEncoder.encode("\"/library/test1#partA\"");
  String parm2 = "parm2=" + URLEncoder.encode("\"/library/test2#partB\"");
  form.setURL(action + "?" + parm1 + "&" + parm2);

    The delimiters that are encoded include:

    • The ASCII characters 'a' through 'z', 'A' through 'Z', and '0' through '9' remain the same.
    • The space character ' ' is converted into a plus sign '+'.
    • All other characters are converted into the 3-character string "%xy", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the lower 8-bits of the character.
