This is not supported by the servlet API. The setting of the charset used
for the response *is not required* affect the charset used by the container
for the request parameters, although some containers do behave in this way.
As far as servlet API version 2.2 is concerned there is no way to achieve
this across containers other than to convery the paramter to the charset you
are expecting it to be in by doing the following.
String param = request.getParameter("name");
param = new String( param.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF8");
If you are coding for the API version 2.3, you can look at the method
ServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding().
