Please be specific: what encoding settings did you change in web.xml and
how have you configured your <Connector>?

Note that this (probably) sets the default character encoding for
incoming request bodies.

The above filter does not change anything about the output of your
webapp: it only changes the way request bodies are interpreted.

Tomcat pretty much just moves bytes around. As long as your webapp does
not cross-code any text, everything should be fine. Is your database
configured to store data in UTF-8? Is your JDBC driver configured to
speak UTF-8? How about your JSPs, etc.: are they configured to emit text
in UTF-8 encoding?

You must have changed something else to make your old data look broken.

You should read this:
