The function ecm:urlEncode encodes the specified object as a URL. The value returned is a string data type.
Example
A registration link is included in a message that takes the information stored in the recipient attribute user.LastName and passes it as a variable to the registration page.
URL encoding ensures that last names with spaces (de la Hoya, van der Waal) or special characters (Nuñez, Köhl) do not break the link.
The HTML for inserting the link in a message is constructed as follows:
<a href="">Registerhttp://host/cmd.jsp?user=<%${ecm:urlEncode(user['LastName'])}%>">Register</a>
