> Hello all,

> Perhaps someone has encountered this problem before:
>
> I need to receive a form submit into a JSP page where the encoding
> character-set is not necessarily ISO-8859-1. I built a sample form with a
> JSP page with <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>. The
> form does a GET (so I can see the parameters on the URL) and seems to
> encode the input correctly into UTF-8, but when I retrieve the parameters,
> they are converted incorrectly. As an experiment, I had the page display
> request.getCharacterEncoding() and it always reports ISO-8859-1, which
> would explain the incorrect translation. I am starting to suspect that
> JRun's Request object ignores the Content-Type HTTP header from the form's
> submit.

> Anyone else experienced this and have a solution?

> Request character encoding: <%= request.getCharacterEncoding() %><BR />
> Request content type: <%= request.getContentType() %><BR />
