Question

Do you know any JDK service in Java 1.5 that knows to take care of URL appending? (taking care of putting “?” or “&” depends on the fact that the query param is the first one or not).

Thanks,
Shay

Answer 1

A rather straightforward example (and very similar to Noel M’s example who posted his while I was writing this) would be:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(url);
url.indexOf("?") > -1 ? sb.append("&") : sb.append("?");

// loop over your paramaters and append them like in Noel M's example

url = sb.toString();
