Yes, this is a problem caused by browsers not complying with the
HTTP spec. Most of them don't send a Content-Type request header
with the charset used for encoding the parameters.

In 2.2 you have to do the conversion yourself, like this:
String requestCharset = "UTF-8";
String encodedValue = request.getParameter("myParam");
String decodedValue =
new String(encodedValue.getBytes("8859_1"), requestCharset);
