Very interesting - a concrete example is always more interesting
to investigate than an abstract bug!
So I gave your code a try and it worked fine on my system!
I can't imagine what might be making it run for me but not run for you..
Just a by-the-way: I think you should also be setting
the charset attribute of the content type for safety,
but I have to admit I don't either, and accents have
always worked fine for me.
How I run it (ie how it works fine):
* tomcat 3.2.1 on HPUX
* Microsoft IE4 as the browser
* I set up a specific servlet-mapping to run the HelloWorldExample,
rather than running it through the invoker servlet. (I had deliberately
turned off the invoker servlet a long time ago; funny enough, I
can't seem to get it running again now...)
You might want to try using a url-encoded version of your url, ie
not
http://my_ip/servlet/HelloWorldExample?name=Andr�
but
http://my_ip/servlet/HelloWorldExample?name=Andr%E9
Actually, though, both of these work OK for me anyway.
I'll have a think about this tomorrow (home time now) -
good luck tracking this down...
