Hi,

I am trying to pass a Regex via the URL to a reasteasy Web Service. In the JS I use encodeURL() to encode it. On the server side, it gets decoded before being parsed and then gets a parse error.

Encoded URL:
http://localhost:8180/rest/resource/v2/weightTol/insertNew&clientRef=test3&client=99999&forcePrint=false&trackFmt=%5E420%5B0-9%5D%7B5%7D91%5B0-9%5D%7B20%7D$

Decoded URL (from stack trace):
http://localhost:8180/rest/resource/v2/weightTol/insertNew?clientRef=test3&client=99999&forcePrint=false&trackFmt=^420[0-9]{5}91[0-9]{20}$

Stack Trace:

My question is: How can I pass the Regex to the WS ?

Thanks,
