Re: [basex-talk] Cannot instantiate java.net.URLEncoder

Hello Marc,

URLEncoder has no public constructor, URLDecoder has. Using import to bind to Java, BaseX tries to create a new instance, which is not possible without a constructor. Use declare, i.e.

declare namespace encoder = "java:java.net.URLEncoder";

to access static methods.

Cheers, Dirk

Hi,

What could be the reason that importing java.net.URLDecoder works as expected but doing the same with java.net.URLEncoder doesn't.

The following works:

import module namespace decoder = "java.net.URLDecoder"; decoder:decode('foo/bar%20baz')

=> 'foo/bar baz'

This gives a "Could not instantiate module 'java.net.URLEncoder'

import module namespace encoder = "java.net.URLEncoder"; encoder:encode('foo/bar baz')
