Hello Bill:
I'm using this method in a servlet.
It is able to handle both latin and Japanese character correctly.
String getParameter(HttpServletRequest req, String key)
throws IOException
{
String value = req.getParameter(key);
if (value != null) {
value = new String(value.getBytes("8859_1"), "JISAutoDetect");
}
return value;
}
