[OmniFaces utilities 2.4] URI-encode the given string using UTF-8

---

[OmniFaces utilities] The encodeURI() method encodes the given string using UTF-8. URIs (paths and filenames) have different encoding rules as compared to URLs. URLEncoder is actually only for www (HTML) form based query string parameter values. URI encoding has a lot in common with URL encoding, but the space has to be %20 and some chars doesn't necessarily need to be encoded.

Method

Usage

import org.omnifaces.util.Utils;

...

// http%3A%2F%2Fwww.names.org%3Fname%3DAnghel%20Leonard

String encode_uri = Utils.encodeURI("http://www.names.org?name=Anghel Leonard");

// check #encodeURL() also

// http%3A%2F%2Fwww.names.org%3Fname%3DAnghel+Leonard

String encode_url = Utils.encodeURL("http://www.names.org?name=Anghel Leonard");

Notice how the empty space was encoded by #encodeURI() as %20, while #encodeURL() as +.
