I have to encode an incoming url in payload

public String encodeURL(String str, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{

try {

        return URLEncoder.encode(str, "UTF-8");

    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {

        return str;

    }

My UDF title is encodeURL

Hi Midhun,

Hi Midhun,

Have you imported the required jars in Message Mapping ?
