request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") must be called prior to any
request.getParameter() call. If your code or any filter or any tomcat valve
does a call to request.getParameter() or any other method that would trigger
the decoding of parameter, the query is decoded with default character encoding
(that is the one sent by browser or the one specified by tomcat connector or
the platform default encoding, which ever is defined first).

That's the correct way.

Does browser send a header with request encoding?
