I have programmed a midlet to send information via a servlet. However I get the following error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Space character in URL.
I understand that the error says what it means and that there must be a space in the URL. However I have looked at the URL but see no spaces. Could this error be refering to something else I include my midlet and servlet code below. I have been looking at this for quite a while but cannot see what is wrong. I hope somebody can help.

When you post, there is a "CODE" tag that you can use so that your posted code still keeps its formatting, like indentation. Posting code like you did makes it very difficult to read and makes that even more difficult for us to help you.
There are Buttons under the "Add Reply" button that can help.

Yes, there is. Just click on the paper-and-pen button on top of the post you want to remove, check the "Delete post" checkbox, and click the "Edit post" form submit button.

By the way, I think I may see why there's a space in your URLs. See this line:

And 'pizza' is one of the entries in your ChoiceGroup, e.g. "Margherita �4.95". So your URL will be:
"http://localhost:8000/pizzaexporder/PizzaExpOrderServletpizzaexporder=Margherita �4.95"
I.e., the space is before the price. Also, I expect you meant to include a "?" between the servlet name and the query parameter name. And you've still got a problem in that some pizza names include spaces. You could use code like this:

To really do it right, you should 'URL encode' the pizza name. Have a look at the JavaDocs for J2SE class java.net.URLEncoder, then implement a small method to do the same thing (since that class is not part of MIDP).
