Question

I am sendin post request from jquery like this :

$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "Save",
   data: { conr: conr ,expiry : expiry,settings : settings}

inside servlet , i am able to get parameters (conr , expiry , settings)
but the problem is that
the settings parameter contains serialized form data : like this :

high=true&ci=false&title=qTip+as+Button+Menu&private=true&email=[e-mail]

I know that i can use string tokenizer to get data but i want to make sure that- if their is any simple way or not?

Answer 1

You could use the HttpComponents and let URLEncodedUtils parse it for you.

So you could just invoke URLEncodedUtils.parse(yourString,Charset.forName("UTF-8")) and you receive as return a List<NameValuePair> containing name and value associated elements. In this case something like: hight = “true”, title = “qTip as Button Menu” and so on. And this all with the right decoded.
