I have an MVC endpoint that takes a string parameter:
@RequestMapping(value = "/do-something")
@ResponseBody
public String doSomething(@RequestParam("token") String token) { ... }
When the method is called with a token containing a plus sign, e.g.:
http://localhost/do-something?token=a+b
I have verified through careful testing, that in Spring MVC 4.3.10, the value received in the token variable is a+b, but in Spring MVC 5.1.7, the value is a b.
How can I configure 5.x to preserve the old behaviour from 4.3.10 for this particular situation?
