Thank you all VERY much with this. It is 8:30pm here and I'm close to
another 12 hour day trying at this problem.
I don't understand why the browser still insists on sending the data as
ISO-8859-1 if the header of the page and the accept-encoding tag on the form
both explicitly specify UTF-8 ?? Bizarre ;-8
Anyway, thanks a million again to:
Jeff Guttadauro
and
THG.
Andoni.

try the following code snippet:
String value = String from your form;
try
{
value = new String(value.getBytes(ISO-8859-1), UTF-8)
}
catch (Exception ex) {}
Then write the value (i. e. with a PreparedStatement) to the db.

Actually the prepared statements couldn't help as I can get the Euro

into the database fine by hard-coding it into my statement. It is only
getting the information **from the form to the servlet** that is having a
problem.

It could be, that the form data is double encoded or
the jdbc driver automatically encoding the data on the
fly. do u use prepared statements (setString())?
what is the encoding of your dbms?

Hello,
I am trying to send a Euro symbol ( ? ) to my database but it keeps
being
corrupted on the way to the servlet from the form on my page.
When I replace the SQL string in my servlet with one which has a Euro
symbol
hard-coded it works fine and displays in my .jsp fine as the Euro
symbol
but
when I submit a form from my JSP with a Euro symbol it gets corrupted
into
nonsense on the way to the servlet.
Can anyone please help??
Thanks,
Andoni.
