Craig Horrell [http://community.jboss.org/people/crashmeister] created the discussion "Passing a Regex to RestEasy via the URL ?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/602298#602298 -------------------------------------------------------------- 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=... Decoded URL (from stack trace): http://localhost:8180/rest/resource/v2/weightTol/insertNew?clientRef=test...
