             <a href="http://localhost/webapp/file%20name.pdf" >PDF File</a>

            Insert the link using  <ice:outputText escape="false" value="#{bean.anchorText}" />   where Bean.getAnchorText() returns literally    <a href=" http://localhost/webapp/file%20name.pdf " >PDF File</a>   or implement a servlet that returns files requested with "+" in the path substituted for " ".

            Description

            OutputLink is implemented as HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(url) as specified, so the "+" signs are being inserted by the standard Servlet URL encoding. It would be possible to use a different encoding method with ice:outputLink (indicated by a flag; this would be a new feature).

            <ice:outputLink percentEncode="true" value="http://host/some path/" />

            (percentEncode would force " " to be encoded as %20, over-riding HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(url))

            Note that using "+" in the path segment of a URL appears to be incorrect (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt does not indicate that "+" is reserved in the path component) so the JSF specified behavior is causing the problem.
