Try specifying the encoding in your client as as "windows-1255"

Mark,
Your client and servlet works!! Thanks.
Now I have only one request,
I tried to modify the client, that instead of preparing a 
predefined line:
String data = "name=" + URLEncoder.encode("\u05d9\u05d0\u05d9\u05e8",
"cp1255");
The client will read a file that is written in a windows 
-1255 encoding 

	BufferedReader  bri = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(new
FileInputStream("request"),"Cp1255"));
					String line = bri.readLine(); //
read just one line from hebrew request text 
	String data = URLEncoder.encode(line, "cp1255");
				
And this some how doesn't work ,
Any suggestions?
Regard 
Yair

Got this working. Mainly just the issue of the encoding that 
was being used
for
the response from the servlet. You need to be careful with 
the names of the
encoding as they can differ between operating systems. My 
recommendation
would
be to always use UTF-8. My version of your servlet and client 
are below.

Hope this helps

Mark

SERVLET
=======
package test.encoding;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class Echo extends HttpServlet {

   public Echo() {
       super();
   }
   public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
       throws ServletException, IOException {
       doPost(request, response);
   }
   public void doPost(
       HttpServletRequest request,
       HttpServletResponse response)
       throws ServletException, IOException {
       request.setCharacterEncoding("cp1255");
       
       response.setContentType("text/html; charset=windows-1255");
   
       PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
       String name = request.getParameter("name");
       out.println(name);
   }

} 

CLIENT
======
package test.encoding;
import java.io.BufferedReader;

           String host = "localhost";
           String port = "8080";

           // the unicode for "Yair" in hebrew.
           String data = "name=" +

           out.write(data.getBytes("cp1255"));
           out.close();
   
           InputStream in = req.getInputStream();
           // reading the response in Cp1255 encoding.
           BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(in));
           // instead of getting my name in hebrew . I get 
"????" four
times
0xF9 in the text file in.txt
           File f = new File("in.txt");
           FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f);
           int code;
           while ((code = br.read()) != -1) {
               System.out.println(code);
               fw.write(code);
           }
           fw.close();                   
       } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

   }
}
