There is two different problems, first of all if you want to
receive russian characters in servlet output you
have to specify output encoding by res.setContentType("text/html;
charset=windows-1251");
it is important to specify encoding which is known to java (for 1251 it is
windows-1251 and Cp1251, case of letters is also important)
Second problem is input from html forms and this problem
has no simple decision. Some servlet engines work right if you specify
encoding by Content-Type header (for example Resin - www.caucho.com),
other always translate query from ISO-8859-1 to unicode (so
you receive question signs). You can parse query string
yourself or can transform ISO-8859-1 to Cp1251 like this:
String result = new String( parameter.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "Cp1251");
Now I am trying to write java package which can help with this problems,
but the work only began, so you have to wait.
