How can I encode and decode a string for usage in query string?

Question

How do I represent a query string in jsf?

I have a query string similar to the below.

.../faces/WPages/Nav/Catalog.xhtml?Storeid=1&Categoryid=1005&drilldownproperty1=drilldownpropertyval1&drilldownproperty2=drilldownpropertyval2&drilldownproperty3=drilldownpropertyval3& ...

I would like to represent the params

drilldownproperty1=drilldownpropertyval1&drilldownproperty2=drilldownpropertyval2&drilldownproperty3=drilldownpropertyval3 ...

with something like:

drilldownproperty=drilldownpropertyvals

where drilldownpropertyvals represents drilldownproperty1=drilldownpropertyval1&drilldownproperty2=drilldownpropertyval2&drilldownproperty3=drilldownpropertyval3

How can I encode and decode the string before and after performing the url redirect on my managebean?

There's the java.net.URLEncoder and java.net.URLDecoder for.

String url = "some.xhtml?drilldownproperty=" + URLEncoder.encode(drilldownpropertyvals, "UTF-8");

And then on the other side

String drilldownpropertyvals = URLDecoder.decode(drilldownproperty, "UTF-8");
