You can encode "%" before decoding:

String cxmlURLEncoded = "50% Polyester";
cxmlURLEncoded = cxmlURLEncoded.replaceAll("%","%25"); cxmlURLDecoded = URLDecoder.decode(cxmlURLEncoded);

But like you said "why the URLDecoder is even being used"?

I am working on a CXML PunchOut system where the Servlet retrieves the Shopping Cart data via XML file from the PunchOut site. The Servlet then runs the XML file through a URLDecoder. It errors because one ot the product descriptions contain a % ( i.e. 50% Polyester). First of all, I'm not really sure why the URLDecoder is even being used at this point. Is it necessary to decode this URL? And Second, if it is, is there a away to decode the XML file while retaining the % in the description? I can remove the % from the XML file prior to Decoding it, but would prefer to keep the % intact if possible. Here is the code: String cxmlURLDecoded = null;
  String cxmlURLEncoded = request.getParameter("cxml-urlencoded");
// receiving an error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
  cxmlURLDecoded = URLDecoder.decode(cxmlURLEncoded);
Thank you, Don M.
