Java encoding similiar to JavaScript encodeURIComponent

public static String encodeURIComponent(String component)   {     
	String result = null;      
	
	try {       
		result = URLEncoder.encode(component, "UTF-8")   
			   .replaceAll("\\%28", "(")                          
			   .replaceAll("\\%29", ")")   		
			   .replaceAll("\\+", "%20")                          
			   .replaceAll("\\%27", "'")   			   
			   .replaceAll("\\%21", "!")
			   .replaceAll("\\%7E", "~");     
	catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {       
		result = component;     
	}      
	
	return result;   
}
