Hi Asher,
It looks like you are using Struts? If so then setting the encoding in the response is too late as the Struts runtime has already set it.
Look into using a filter (that is what I do) for your webapp, I expect that should solve your problem.
You can Google about for more on utf-8 and Struts.

Good luck

hey mark, thanks for response. i run the code i pasted below. for example, i enter one hebrew letter. it's utf code is 1488. on tc 4.0.xx i get the following results:
7 (the length of its utf-8 code) א (the letter itself in utf-8 encoding) א(same as above parsed to be visible in browser)
in tc 5 i get this: 1(which already lets me know that this is not really utf-8) the entered hebrew letter the entered hebrew letter (nothing is parsed, so '&' signed wasn't even met) this is it.

Asher,
A few questions...
What do you put in the text box on the form and what output do you see?
Are you really using "<form act="/tests/utf.jsp" method=post>" or do you
mean
<form action="/tests/utf.jsp" method=post>?
When I did my test I copied your UTF-8 character form the bugzilla report
and
pasted into the text box. I was seeing question marks in the output until
I
added the <[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> The test was on XP (as per the
bug
report) and I assume you used IE as the browser.
The URI encoding is a red herring in this case. Because you are using post
it is
only the request encoding that matters.
The full text of my test JSP is below.
Mark
<%@ page language="java" import="java.lang.*,java.util.*" %> <%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> <html> <body>
<form action="bug29900.jsp" method=post> <input type=text name=source > <input type=submit> <form> <p>
<% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
if(request.getParameter("source")!=null) { out.println(request.getParameter("source").length()+"<p>");
out.println(request.getParameter("source"));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); for(int i=0; i<request.getParameter("source").length(); i++) { if(request.getParameter("source").charAt(i) == '&') sb.append("&"); else sb.append(request.getParameter("source").charAt(i));
} out.println("<p>"+ sb.toString()); } %>
</body> </html>

hi folks, i've published a question about it a couple of days ago, but didn't get any responses. i've tried some things i found in bugzilla, but they didn't help. so, i wanna try to get your help once more. once more about my problem: i try to send utf-8 encoded parameters in POST body, but they arrived encoded in ISO... this worked perfectly with tomcat 4.0.x. from the info i've got from a developer at bugzilla i learned that the difference between tc4.0 and tc5 that causes the change is actually in coyote http1.1 connector. there is an attribute called useBodyEncodingForURI which was set to "true" in tc4, but became "false" in tc5. setting it to "true" together with <%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> and <%request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");%> will make the difference. i made the change, the jsp tags are in the code and coyote settings look like this now:
<code> <!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector port="8080" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> </code>
but this doesn't help! another request to bugzilla didn't help either, i was told that this is not a bug in tomcat, so they are not going to deal with the question. well, may be it's not a tomcat bug, but it should be some kind of bug. any ideas?
my testing code comes here:
<code>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"%> <[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding="utf-8"%> <html> <head> </head> <body>
<form act="/tests/utf.jsp" method=post> <input type=text name=source > <input type=submit> <form> <p>
<% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
if(request.getParameter("source")!=null) { out.println(request.getParameter("source").length()+"<p>");
out.println(request.getParameter("source"));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); for(int i=0; i<request.getParameter("source").length(); i++) { if(request.getParameter("source").charAt(i) == '&') sb.append("&"); else sb.append(request.getParameter("source").charAt(i));
} out.println("<p>"+ sb.toString()); } %>
</body> </html>
</code>
