[gatein-dev] Portal url creation with ampersands

[Trong Tran]

it says :

*Note that replacing & with & is only done when writing the URL in HTML,
where "&" is a special character (along with "<" and ">"). When writing the
same URL in a plain text email message or in the location bar of your
browser, you would use "&" and not "&amp;". With HTML, the browser
translates "&amp;" to "&" so the Web server would only see "&" and not
"&amp;" in the query string of the request.*

I think this is a good example of reason why we have used '&' standalone
before.

Anyway, I agree that the '&amp;' would be used to generate an ULR by default
and we could provide an option to be able to retrieve the another in such
cases
