URLs with & ? and other special characters

[SkipDever]

I am implementing a new system where some of the key fields like productId,
partyId, etc have special characters in them.  When constructing a URL, for
instance EditInventoryItem?productId= and the productId contains one of
these special characters, I expected OfbizUrl to fix it form me.

for instance, findParty?partyId=ANDER&COTCH should be transformed to
findParty?partyId=ANDER%26COTCH

Is there ofbiz code to handle this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use following utility methods for formation of Urls before pass it to
OfbizUrl.

UtilFormatOut.encodeQueryValue(String)
UtilFormatOut.decodeQueryValue(String)

Thanks, didn't know these were there.  Actually ended up writing my own.
