First!

Hi everybody, and thanks for making this available.

Here's a simple question: I was trying to modify HelloWorldResource to
put in a name extracted from the URI, such as in:


import javax.ws.rs.*;

// The Java class will be hosted at the URI path "/helloworld"
@UriTemplate("/helloworld/{name}")
public class HelloWorldResource {

   // The Java method will process HTTP GET requests
   @HttpMethod("GET")
   // The Java method will produce content identified by the MIME Media
   // type "text/plain"
   @ProduceMime("text/html")
   public String getClichedMessage(@UriParam("name") String name) {
     // Return some cliched textual content
     return "<i>Hello</i> "+name+"!";
   }
}

This works fine until I put an escaped space character in, such as in
"/helloworld/x%20y", and then I get...:
