Thomas, The reason this worked is b/c Stripes framework looks up the character encoding from the Locale Picker (which in your case gets initialized via the param character encoding part UTF-8 you specified in your web.xml) and invokes request.setCharacterEncoding using that value.
Looks like you have dealt with part of the UI / Stripes aspect of this problem just fine BUT if you want full UTF-8 there are other moving parts such as setting the accept charset on all your JSPs to UTF-8... though in the end it depends how far you need to go... . As such... check out the thread entitled "UTF8 from form to mySQL" as it covers many areas. --Nikolaos Thomas Menke wrote: > Hi @ll, > > I just noticed that in the application that I have just started > parameter values did not end up correctly in my database if the > parameter values contained non-ascii characters (tested with german > umlauts).
