You're probably using GET to submit the form, in which case the values will be URL-encoded. You can use the java.net.URLDecoder.decode method to revert the encoding.
I'll move this to the servlet froum, as it has nothing to do with JDBC.
You should not have to do any encoding or decoding on your own. The browser will encode the string when it sends it to the server, and the getParameter() method will decode it.
Or are you sending the string from the browser by some means other than a normal form submission?
Hi The request object member function is req.getParameter("text box name"), hope you are using this correctly since in your post you used req.getParameterValue(). Try using the printStackTrace from your tomcat logger, and also try using the req.getQueryString() and parse it by your own and see if the value you are typing in the textbox is being received on server or not? thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not doing any encoding and decoding on my own. I am submitting and accessing it normally. As kalyan godavarthy suggested to use getQueryString() Its working fine. But with req.getParameterValue("text box name")I am not getting.
