The reason is that browsers don't specify charset for HTTP
requests. If you use GET method, there is no way for specifying
charset. If you use POST method, browsers set just
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" content-type without
"charset" parameter.
So a servlet has no way how to detect encoding of incoming
request.
There is a workaround:
String foo =
new String(req.getParameter("foo").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"Shift_JIS");
