title: Escaping & in a URL
body: <p>I am using jsps and in my url I have a value for a variable like say "L &amp; T". Now when I try to retrieve the value for it by using <code>request.getParameter</code> I get only "L". It recognizes "&amp;" as a separator and thus it is not getting considered as a whole string.</p>
  
  <p>How do I solve this problem?</p>
