Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We have some included JSPs or requests that set URL parameters like below. The subsequent request.getParameter calls in the included JSP/request then return improperly decoded values:
        <jsp:include flush="true" page="/child.jsp">
            <jsp:param name="paramname" value="specialcharactervalue" />
        </jsp:include>
