Hi,
most probably one of those is happening
1) IE sends form in iso-8859-1 and tomcat decodes it in UTF-8, resulting
in wrong character
2) IE sends form in UTF-8 and tomcat decodes it in ISO-8859-1
Be aware that the charset of current page is not always used by browser
as the charset used to encode parameters when submitting form. One
possible way i know to prevent such problem is
1) set page encoding to utf-8
2) in the <form> tag add an acceptCharset="UTF-8" parameter
3) call request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") before getting your first
parameter.
