OK, after some flailing around, I installed a fresh version of tomcat 5.5.26 and added the test page from the FAQ. I'm testing two ways One using the submit button to test the POST, and testing response to GET by encoding the "query" Romans à clef as: http://resdev1.dev.oclc.org:20000/textEncoding.jsp?mydata=%20Romans%20a%CC%80%20clef.
I made sure to add the URIEncoding = "UTF-8" a/v pair to the connector declaration/definition. >From this base, I began to add in various libraries to >webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib.

I post it to the list as informations that some library outside of tomcat can munge UTF-8 encoding. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 4:10 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: UTF-8 encoding problems Thompson,Roger wrote: > I saw that--All it really says is to set URIEncoding="UTF-8" the tips > say to use POST-- cannot do in a RESTful service. Have you actually tried the test? Did it work? If you read the sample code it also points to a number of other things the service needs to do in terms of setting encoding etc. If the test works and your service doesn't then either you haven't configured the service properly, there is a bug in the framework or the filters are causing problems. I fixed a whole bunch of encoding issues a while back and there haven't been any bugs since. That isn't to say there aren't any - just that the odds of this being a Tomcat problem are pretty slim. You might want to take a look at TcpMon from the Apache Axis project. I have found it very useful when debugging similar issues.
