Hello All,

I am calling a java webscript from a ftl. 

var uri = Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI+"/vs/insurancetype?" + encodeURIComponent("company="+companyValue+"&insurancetype="+insuranceValue);
this.register = function () {
Alfresco.util.Ajax.jsonGet({
       url: uri,
       successCallback: {
                fn: this.updateSubInsuranceType,
                scope: this
      },
      failureCallback: {
                fn: function(){},
                scope: this
     }
});

Passing Parameter:

var companyValue = "A&B Company";

var insuranceValue = "R&K insurance"

Request URL:

1. Request URL:
   http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco//vs/insurance-sub-type?company%3DCompany%201%26insurancetype%3DD%26A%20aaa

When I get the request in Java Webscript. 

final String insuranceCompany = req.getParameter("company");   ///companyValue= A
final String insurancetype = req.getParameter("insurancetype");   /// insuranceValue=R

Basically, I am not getting right parameter from the request object. 
Please suggest...

You should not be encoding the entire URL arguments via encodeURIComponent. It is more appropriate to encode only the values individually before combining them into the URL. So the URL should look more like

http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/vs/insurance-sub-type?company=Company%201&insurancetype=D%26A%20aaa

(Note: You also do not need the leading slash in your URL addition since the PROXY_URI already ends with a slash)
