Decodes a URL query string. You can also use this tag to encode a URL query string using a JavaBean if you supply a value for the id attribute. The id attribute value is the name of the variable that is passed to the JavaBean that converts the string. To decode a URL query string without using a JavaBean, supply the string in the value attribute and supply a character set in the charset attribute. The decoded query string is displayed on the page. If you are using a JavaBean, you are responsible for ensuring that the string is decoded with the same character set that it is encoded with.
