Hi, I am trying to decode only once and I'm getting the exception already. String decodedspacename = URLDecoder.decode(space, "UTF-8").getpath(); Am 03.06.2014 09:50 schrieb "Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar" < [email protected]>:

Hm, are you sure it is already decoded? I can reproduce the error message you get by decoding it twice ...

...

My scenario: Users can create space by using a URL that looks like: mydomain.com/xwiki/bin/...?space= %C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC%C3%9F%C2%A7%25%21%3C%3E_helloworld

i then try to decode this spacename and create the space without success. String decodedspacename = URLDecoder.decode(space, "UTF-8");

How should i deal with this? thanks for your help in advance. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi, I think more details would be needed about what you do actually ... I tested the following groovy script in a page : {{groovy}} def space = "%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC%C3%9F%C2%A7%25%21%3C%3E_helloworld" println "ENCODED ${space}" String decodedspacename = URLDecoder.decode(space, "UTF-8"); println "DECODED ${decodedspacename}" def spaceFromUrl = request.space println "From URL ENCODED ${spaceFromUrl}" String decodedspacenameFromUrl = URLDecoder.decode(space, "UTF-8"); println "From URL DECODED ${decodedspacenameFromUrl}" {{/groovy}} I pass "space=%C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC%C3%9F%C2%A7%25%21%3C%3E_helloworld" as a parameter to the page. The output is then : ENCODED %C3%A4%C3%B6%C3%BC%C3%9F%C2%A7%25%21%3C%3E_helloworld DECODED äöüߧ%!<>_helloworld

From URL ENCODED äöüߧ%!<>_helloworld From URL DECODED äöüߧ%!<>_helloworld

So in this case, it works for me. If I add this additional line to my script: decodedspacenameFromUrl = URLDecoder.decode(decodedspacenameFromUrl , "UTF-8"); Then I get the exception you got, as Clemens. BR, Jeremie 2014-06-05 9:59 GMT+02:00 Daniel Ebanja <[email protected]>:
