how to encode the url in strut2

Hi,

How to encode the url in strut2
as i have this url.
inscreenlist!show.action?candidate_id=<s:property value="candidate_id" />

Please help me.

What are you actually trying to accomplish? Do you really want to encode the string "<s:property..." or do you want the value of the candidate ID?

If the latter, it depends on how you're trying to generate the URL, so without more info, it's tough to help.

If the former, why?!>

i want to encode this .

<s:property value="candidate_id" />

...

Do you want the tag itself in the URL, or do you want the candidate's ID in the URL (like as a parameter)?

Rather than going back and forth several more times, I'll just throw out some random answers, and maybe one of them will be the one you need.

<s:url var="theUrl" action="inscreenlist" method="show">
  <s:param name="candidate_id" value="candidate_id"/>
</s:url>
<a href="<s:property value="#theUrl"/>">link text</a>

That's assuming candidate_id is an action property or accessible in the stack.

but how it will encode the url.

Look at the "encode" and "escapeAmp" attributes.

Have you even *tried* it to just *SEE* how the URL is encoded?!

hi use like this

<s:url id="theUrl" action="jobapply" method="add" encode="true" escapeAmp="true" >
<s:param name="jobCode" value="jobCode" />
<s:param name="jobId" value="jobCode"/>
</s:url>
<a href="<s:property value="#theUrl"/>">Apply Online</a>

and i am getting url like this.

http://localhost:8080/cyberq/jobapply!add.action?jobCode=101&jobId=101

Still it not encoded my url values.
