I know that in PHP there are funtions urlencode() and urldecode() which
would put the '+'s in the string and then strip them out again.

ie: <A href ="SubGroup2.jsp?<? echo urlencode($string); ?>">Test link</A>
and then in the SubGroup2.jsp script have $string = urldecode($string);

Presumably there are similar functions in the language you are using?
