javax.servlet.ServletRequest.getCharacterEncoding() gives you
encoding of input data. But HTTP protocol has no standard way of
specifying encoding of data sent from browser to server,
so it will ALWAYS give ISO-8859-1. I think this is an error
in design of HTTP protocol.
So the only way how you can handle it is:
new String(request.getParameter("par").getBytes(request.getCharacterEncoding()),
"JISAutoDetect");
