Ivan, This isn't a tomcat problem and I would appreciate it if you would refrain from blaming tomcat without foundation.
The problem is that your JSP is not saved in UTF-8. Try the following in Eclipse: - Right-click on the .jsp file in the package explorer - Select properties - In the 'text file encoding' section select 'Other' rather than 'Default' - Select 'UTF-8' in the now enabled drop down list - Click 'Apply' - Click 'OK' - Save the file - Redeploy your webapp On XP you can also save JSPs in UTF-8 using Notepad. Select 'Save As...' and select the encoding you require from the drop down list at the bottom of the save file dialog. I have just cut and pasted the example Russian text from your original e-mail into a JSP. Before changing the encoding I saw a series of ?s in the browser. After correcting the JSP file encoding I saw the expected Russian text in IE.
