Unescaping / decoding an email address set in a cookie

I've stored an email address in a cookie, and I'm sending it to a jsp file on google appengine 开发者_如何学Goto be verified. The @ is coming through as %40. I need to get it back to an @, and convert any other special chars that might have been encoded. Are there classes available through appengine that deal with this conversion?

Look at URLDecoder and URLEncoder:

Looking at the JRE whitelist they are both fine to use.
