This is just snap shot of my code. I use Header class to save values, it
is just data holder.

I'm from Slovenija, Europe. We are using character that are not defined
in ASCII so we are using UTF-8 cp.
I will try to explain what is this application about.
This project (web page) is protected with AAI
(http://www.switch.ch/aai/about/). This Authentication and
Authorization infrastructure is roughly divided on SP (service provider)
and Idp (identity provider). SP is module in apache. So when user try to
get web page that is protected with AAI through apache, SP module checks
if user is alredy logged in. If not SP redirects user to Idp where user
can put his/her username and password. If everything is ok Idp sends
users data in xml to SP. SP puts this data into apache
environment variables so applications (web pages) can access it.
Here i use mod_jk to get this environment variables in tomcat in HTTP
header. If i print user data on apache side i get values in UTF-8
encoding but if i try this on tomcat i don't get right values i have to
make conversion.
Is it mod_jk responsible for converting UTF-8 environment variable to
ACSII header values or is this conversion made elsewhere?
