The method encode(String) in the type URLEncoder is not applicable for arguments (String, String)
Bruce...@sas.com
The application was not developed explicitly for WAS it also runs on WebLogic, 8.1.x, 9.2.2, Tomcat 4.1.18, and JBoss 4.0.4 and is developed in Eclipse. All of the other application servers are able to run this code without error I am very curious as to why WAS 6.1 suddenly can't run this JSP.

The offending line of code (line 42) in customer_details.jsp is:
<%= URLEncoder.encode(((CustomerContent)pageContext.findAttribute ("custC")).getCustomerNumber(), "UTF-8") %>
Additional information in the error dump suggests that the "encode" method of the URLEncoder class is having a problem with the arguments passed by the jsp:
"The method encode(String) in the type URLEncoder is not applicable for the arguments (String, String)"
It appears from the message that the server is expecting a single String argument, instead of the two Strings that the jsp is passing.
This would imply that the server is using a 1.3 jdk, since the encode method has been supporting the 2 String signature since 1.4.
I also saw somewhere on the IBM WebSphere site, can't find again unfortunately, that the JSP standard supports the encode(string, string) so I am asking any help I can get on this issue.
