Alternatives to encode URL

I am trying to encode input form data here. There are two options and I have tried both of them:

  1. Use URLencoder.encode(inputString) method which does not work on GWT client side (My code resides in client module) Results in error 'Did you forget to inherit required module?'
  2. URL.encodeQueryString(inputString) which works well, But when I run relevant test cases using JUnit, all I get is unsatisfiedlinkederror

Are there any alternatives for encoding method or is there any work around for above mentioned methods?

For URL building, I use the "UrlBuilder": com.google.gwt.http.client.UrlBuilder 

UrlBuilder u = new UrlBuilder();
u.setProtocol("https");
u.setHost("www.mysite.com:8080");
u.setPath("/myServletPath");
u.setParameter("username", nameField.getValue());
u.setParameter("someAttribute", "itsValue");
u.buildString();

This code will result in: https://www.mysite.com:8080/myServlet?username=GWT%20User&someAttribute=itsValue

Just use the URL class and its methods:

Do not forget to inherit the required module <inherits name="com.google.gwt.http.HTTP"/>.

For your second option : GWT uses modules and needs to be compiled, which is different than running a simple JUnit test. Take a look at http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideTesting.html, they explain how to setup JUnit test.
