URLs with encoded ?(%3F) are not accepted

Issue

  • A 3rd party system sends requests with encoded ?(%3F) as the query separator causing JBoss EAP to return a 404
  • A request to http://example.com/Servlet%3Ffoo%3Dbar is not being interpreted as http://example.com/Servlet?foo=bar

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.x
    • 7.x
