Setting character encoding in your action is too late, the parameters have
already been read from the request.
You need to set the character encoding in a filter that runs before the
struts2 filter.
There is a simple filter that will do it. You just need to add this filter
to your web.xml before the struts2 filter.
public class CharacterEncodingFilter implements Filter
{
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain next)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
String encoding = request.getCharacterEncoding();
if (encoding == null || encoding.length() == 0)
{
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
}
next.doFilter(request, response);
}
}
