Hi Randie try value = new String( request.getParameter(name), "ISO-8859-1" );
Also Set proper locale in the console from which you are starting Tomcat. Use LC_ALL=ja_JP.PCK. Chk the directory /usr/lib/locale for other locales. -Saravanan -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.
