Thing is you've got an HTML form that you tell browsers it is
ISO-8859-2, so when they post it to form target URL - it gets send
encoded as ISO-8859-2, it is then your responsibility to parse
incoming queries in the encoding you asked it to be encoded.
Depending upon your requirements, UTF-8 will fit most of any languages
needs but there are cases where you want to store some languages in
specific charsets as converting from specific charsets towards unicode
is reasonably reliable whereas converting from unicode towards
specific charsets can be tricky in some cases.
However, in your case your data is posted in ISO-8859-2 you'll need to
convert it in case you want to manipulate it as unicode using
something similar as this :
String value = request.getParameter("mytext");
try{
value = new String(value.getBytes(), request.getCharacterEncoding());
}catch(java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException ex){
System.err.println(ex);
}
But there might be some easier method and I'm not a JSP Guru ...
