Description

Use Case: OData (odata.org) / odata4j (odata4j.org)

Building an URI based on OData query parameter:

URI called by http client: .../Employees?$filter=startswith(CarrierId,'A')

URI build on server:

String nextHref = uriInfo.getRequestUriBuilder().replaceQueryParam("$skiptoken", "

{dummySkipToken}

").build().toString();

Result is:

/Employees?$filter=startswith%2528CarrierId%252C%2527A%2527%2529&$skiptoken=%7BdummySkipToken%7D

The value of query parameter $filter is encoded twice. The issue is in the embrasing {} of the value of the $skiptoken query parameter.

CXF does a partial encoding of the first query parameter which succeeds and then gets a UriSyntaxException for the 2nd query parameter. After that it falls back and encodes the whole URI while the 1st query option is already encoded.
