                 Key: JBPORTAL-1063
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1063
             Project: JBoss Portal
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Portal Core
    Affects Versions: 2.4 Final
         Environment: JBoss AS 4.0.2 
            Reporter: Sandeep Pujar
         Assigned To: Julien Viet
            Priority: Minor


Repro steps:
1. Login as admin, create a page with name - "tester's page".
2. A page link would appear on the nav bar as "tester's page".
3. Click on the link and it would not take you to the newly created page.
    The link points to <portal path>/tester  it skips "'s page" part. This is because the path part of the URL  is not encoded.
    The special character  " ' " would appear as it is, hence would conflict with apostrophe in HTML tag href.

The bug seems to be in the file:
org.jboss.portal.core.model.portal.PortalObjectURLFactory method getBaseURL.

Fix:
Instead of replacing only the spaces in the objectref, URL encode the paths.
Eg. If object refs is  "portal.default.tester's page"
Url encode every part of the path (portal , default, tester's page) seperately and then concatenate to build the URL.
