If you use Tomcat, but sure to set the server encoding as well.
According to the URIencoding attribute documentation in Tomcat, set "... the
character encoding used to decode the URI bytes, after %xx decoding the URL. If
not specified, ISO-8859-1 will be used.".
For example:
<Connector port="8080"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

Thank you, Matthijs! While it is not really a Stripes problem, I was hoping
there was a Stripes solution. Setting my character encoding on the page
doesn't help. However, I can solve the issue by just eliminating the one bad
character I always get.
Thanks,
Joe

Subject: [Stripes-users] Input with non-standard character input
I have an input in which symbols like © can be entered. Inside my action, the
input variable has the text © where ever the the © was inputted. How can I
fix this?
I don't think your problem is stripes-specific, but it is a very common problem
in web applications. See this page (also relevant if you don't use Tomcat):
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding
The problem you most likely have is
"Most web browsers today do not specify the character set of a request, even
when it is something other than ISO-8859-1. This seems to be in violation of
the HTTP specification. Most web browsers appear to send a request body using
the encoding of the page used to generate the POST (for instance, the <form>
element came from a page with a specific encoding... it is that encoding which
is used to submit the POST data for that form)."
If you only need special characters in POST requests I would recommend setting
all HTML pages you with your forms to UTF-8 and using the
org.apache.catalina.filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter (you can copy this
filters' code to your application code if you don't use Tomcat).
