title: Escapse url GET parameters in URL with Java/ICEFaces
body: <p>I have a JAVA with JSF/ICEFaces application. I need to pass parameters from one page to another so I user something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;f:param name="eventName" value="#{item.event_name}" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then get it in the constructor using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>eventName = request.getParameter("eventName");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While works fine unless there is a '/' character in the string submitted, it doesn't get parsed properly. I believe I need to escape the '/' parameter with %2F and then parse it back.</p>
  
  <p>Two things:
  1- How to do this in ICEFaces or JSF
  2- Are there other parameter I have to escape?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>Tam</p>
