Thats the correct behaviour. Your servlet container may choose to inspect the 
POST data but there is no requirement for it to, thats up to you to implement a 
filter as mentioned earlier. What if your XML was malformed, what do you think 
it should do? The content could be anything for all it cares. What would your 
processor do if the header of the XML said the encoding was 8859-1, but the 
actual encoding was UCS-2? You wouldn't even be able to read the header 
reliably, you would have to perform a series of rereads to get the right 
encoding.
