Use a servlet filter, like: public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException { logger.debug("set request character encoding to " + encoding); request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
// move on to the next chain.doFilter(request, response); } -----Original Message----- From: Mike Wannamaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 4:51 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: URIEncoding and POSTS I can specify URIEncoding="UTF-8" in Tomcat's connector settings within the server.xml file. Now, my Tomcat server correctly reads the URL GET parameters correctly...sending out "Hello, José!" or "Hello, 田中!" as expected. However, there's still a problem. What if I want to POST some non-ASCII data, presumably to enter into a backend database? All is well since I set that URIEncoding flag, right? Wrong. It turns out that Tomcat, doesn't use this URIEncoding flag for POSTed form data. So, what does it use? ISO-8859-1 of course! So now, I'm back to where I started, and my imaginary application still greets Mr. ç”°ä¸ instead of Mr. 田中. Not good. Why is this so? Can I get the POST to behave the same as the GET??
