I wrote up a quick blurb on the issues surrounding character encoding on the Resteasy list recently:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=540eb7210908281001r6aafaa55u78615debb704e4c1%40mail.gmail.com The short of it is that, if you can get away with it, you should set UTF-8 everywhere. In particular, you should set the platform default with -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 and ensure that all your pages are rendered in utf-8 (ie with the JSP directive). It's cool that Resin has a config parameter for this, but it will be obviated by setting the platform default - right, Scott? The main problem is that POSTed form data will be sent by the browser in whatever charset encoding was used on the host page, and this information is not sent along with the request. So the server must guess... and that usually means going with the platform default. If you for some reason need to manage multiple charsets in the same application, you'll need a Filter that executes early and calls request.setCharacterEncoding() *before* any code calls request.getParameter().
