Spaces are not acceptible Url characters. Use the Url equivalent, %20, whenever you need a space in the information transferred to get the best results. Or better yet, use a built-in Url Encoding method, like URLEncoder.encode(), to encode the entire Url before it is processed and take care of all non-Url-acceptible characters.

You have been given your answer.

A URI can't contain any spaces and some other special characters, and if they do, they need to be encoded. With the way you are currently doing things, when the country name with spaces is encountered, the URI becomes report.jsp?address=some address when it should have been report.jsp?address=some%20address .

Using scriptlets in your JSP file is a bad practice not to mention that accessing a database from the JSP file is disastrous.
