JSP URL encoding

[Deepan Ignatius]

Hi,

I have an issue with url encoding in jsp where the objective is to list the files present in a particular directory of a Linux machine with the help of jsp file. I am using the below code to perform this part

<%
                String encFileName = URLEncoder.encode(files[i],"UTF-8");
	%>
	<a  href="DownloadFiles.jsp?FilePath=<%=path%>&FileName=<%=encFileName%>"> <%=files[i]%> </a>
                // assume that files will contain the list of files present in the directory

Using the above code I am able to download the files whose name contains alphanumeric characters (a-z,A-Z,0-9) and the special characters(".","+", "-", "*", "_"). But when the file name has scandic characters like (äÄöÖåÅ) I am unable to download.

Is there a way to resolve this up? ie to download files that contain both special characters and scandic characters.

example for a filename:-
äbc+xyz.xls
