Hi Dirk,

Great. What a weird asymmetry though. At least there's a way to call it.

Thanks.

Hello Marc,

URLEncoder has no public constructor, URLDecoder has. Using import to
bind to Java, BaseX tries to create a new instance, which is not
possible without a constructor. Use declare, i.e.

    declare namespace encoder = "java:java.net.URLEncoder";

to access static methods.

Cheers,
Dirk
