Hi, to get the encoding right the outgoing encoding (JSP-page) and the incoming encoding have to bet he same. You should define the enconfig of the JSP by:
1. Setting the content-type in the HTML Page <META http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> 2. Defining the contentType;charset for the JSPC <[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="test/html:charset=UTF-8"%> 3. Defining The encoding type and charset of the form: <html:form ... enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"> The Opera and Firefox Browsers provide better informations about the content encoding than the IE. You should check the encoding in one of those. The browser may choose a different charset for displaying the page (and form) and you won't get UTF-8 data back. This procedure worked fine on at least two major projects.

But what do you force the Encoding to in your Filter? How can you know with any certitude how the browser encoded the data values before sending it to you?? It probably works well if the browser is setup to "auto-select" the encoding, but what do you do if they have it explicitly set to something other than what you are assuming? --- regards --- Larry At 12:07 PM 7/21/04, you wrote: > > I'd like to hear how others have solved this problem.
