hi,

try setting the Locale to the language you are using in your servlet before the request.getParameter(),

it works fine on windows for me.

Subject: problem with non-english characters on solaris

Hi all,

 

I am using some non-english characters in HTTP request POST data. When I post it to the servlet and do a request.getParameter() in the servlet code, I get all the non-English characters replaced by a '?'.

 

This is happening when the Tomcat is running on Solaris. I have tried using Tomcat with Apache and also Tomcat standalone.

If I run the same servlet on Windows NT and use the same non-English characters it works fine.

 

Can you please suggest me what can be wrong?

I am using internationalized version of JDK and have made sure that i18n.jar is in classpath , if that could be a reason.

 

Has anyone seen such a problem before?

 

Thanks
