[gatein-dev] Portal url creation with ampersands

[Julien Viet]

it's a good point,

in the navigation controller framework it is possible to specify the kind of link that will be generated by the portal.

so creating an URL would be like

url.setMimeType(MimeType.XHTML);
url.toString();

or

url.setMimeType(MimeType.PLAIN);
url.toString();

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.
