only the request encoding that matters.
The full text of my test JSP is below.

<%@ 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>

Subject: utf-8 with tomcat 5: second round
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>
