Michael,

Please find a new version of UrlEncodedQueryString at:

    
https://jdk-collaboration.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectForumMessageView?messageID=20545&forumID=1463

Changes include:

1. JavaDoc changes
2. Changed String[] to List<String>
3. Uppercased enums

Basically, everything you asked for EXCEPT the thing about parse() 
returning 'undefined'.

The problem here is I do not know if I can reliably error if I get an 
invalid query string, as most strings would be considered valid query 
strings and would probably parse to some degree. For example, if you 
passed an entire URL string (the most likely error to make, I'd say):

http://java.sun.com?forum=3

I imagine this could validly be interpreted as a parameter called 
'http://java.sun.com?forum' with a value of 3. Perhaps I should just say 
the results are 'unpredictable'?

Richard.
