this.getClass().getName() and underscore

Hi

Easy one for you but I seem to be hitting a brick wall on finding the answer...

running the code :

Code:

---

String s = this.getClass().getName();

---

However this is running from a jsp file and I've named it with an underscore. Which means that the underscore seems to be converted to _005f (possibly with an escape, I'm looking at it once it is in the page as a link...)

Questions:
- why does it do this?
- can i confirm somehow whether there is an escape code in the returned string and it's just not showing properly..?
- how to fix it (preferably without third party plug-ins (eg commons) ) ?
