good
point-http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/HTTPCharset/index
-011206.htmlsuggests a webapp solution to embed the encoding param in
web.xml e.g.<context-param>
<param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</context-param>/*This way you can read the param for input request */
private String encoding;
public void init() throws ServletException {
ServletConfig config = getServletConfig();
encoding = config.getInitParameter("PARAMETER_ENCODING");
}
/*as well as accomodating the output response*/
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
if (encoding != null) {
request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
}
...
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
}
