Hello, When using ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" in a form on a jsp page, text sent ignores the SetCharacterEncodingFilter which is calling request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
I thought about getting parameter values by using String field = request.getParameter("whatever"); field=new String(field.getBytes ("UTF-8")); Does this seem a reasonable approach or is should the SetCharacterEncodingFilter *really* be setting the charEncoding? I don't want to be creating a new string for every parameter unless necessary. When ENCTYPE is not set, all works as expected. This problem is seen on Tomcat 5.0.28, but not 4.x versions. I understand something changed around 5.0.27 for UTF-8 handeling but am not sure if that is realated. -- Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
