title: How to send special characters in request parameters in Spring
body: <p>How to handle special characters in request parameters? Here is my controller:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Scope("request")
  @RestController
  public class GetOperatorSeries{
  @RequestMapping(value = "test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
      public String getOperatorSeries(HttpServletResponse response, @RequestParam(value = "mobno") long mobno,
              @RequestParam(value = "sourceType") String sourceType,
              @RequestParam(value = "responseType") String responseType)
  {
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For example if I use any special characters in request param then it do not read it, like if I am sending "sourceType= @$abc" then it would read it as null or empty. But I want that it should read special characters also.</p>
