On the one hand the servlet 2.4 spec actually addresses response character encoding issues nicely, with the addition of stuff like:
<locale-encoding-mapping-list>
<locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale>ja</locale>
<encoding>Shift_JIS</encoding>
</locale-encoding-mapping>
</locale-encoding-mapping-list>to the web.xml .
It would be a shame if the solution doesn't extend to the request encoding as well, i.e. so that the tomcat SetCharacterEncodingFilter class becomes redundant, but at this point I haven't got to the point where I can tell. I guess the tomcat committers would know :)
I only upgraded to tomcat 5 on Sunday and I'm still trying to get back to the stage where I was with tomcat 4.
Do you know when the 2.4 spec goes final?

Did that alrady. Here's the gory details and the conclusion is valid for 4 and 5. It seems the spec folks took care of the character encoding issue but forgot how to fix it for j_security_check. So the "short term" solution is probably a custom solution per platform. :( (Maybe google has the answer, haven't checked yet)

This is a really interesting issue. I would hope that you would send a
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to hopefully get the expert-team
to clarify this before the 2.4 spec goes final. Because the Servlet-2.2
spec lacks the request.setCharacterEncoding method, Tomcat 3.3 jumps through
a lot of hoops to try and guess the charset. These were dropped in Tomcat
4+, since the request.setCharacterEncoding method was supposed to solve all
of these problems. As you have pointed out, it is not possible to use this
in a Filter for the standard Form-auth config (for the simple reason that
Auth is called before Filters). Therefore, the j_security_check target is
flying blind wrt charset.
