German Umlauts in Tomcat5

[Christian Traber]

Hi,

following example works with tomcat 4.1.30 but makes problems with tomcat 5.0.19 on SuSE9.1:

Client side:

	// vir.shortName = Gf�llner
	String username = URLEncoder.encode(vir.shortName,"UTF-8");     
	 // ==> username = Gf%C3%BCllner

       HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

       huc.setUseCaches (false);
       huc.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
       huc.setRequestMethod("GET");
        huc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain;charset=utf-8");
        ...
Serlet side:

        // request.getCharacterEncoding() => utf-8
        String username = request.getParameter("username");
        // username = Gf�?llner
same problem with:
        String username = new String(username.getBytes(),"UTF-8");    
        // username = Gf�?llner
Any Ideas?

Best Regards
Christian
