This worked for me with Japanese characters:
Use a filter to set encodings for both requests and responses:
request.setCharacterEncoding( "UTF-8" );
response.setContentType( "text/html; charset=UTF-8" );
Specify the following HTML header meta-tag in your JSPs:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Always specify "UTF-8" as the charset.
Stick to submitting form-data with POST methods.
I have not tried encoding URI's with GET requests. If you must use URI's
with GET requests, try to limit yourself to working with ID-string
parameters, so that you can avoid encoding issues.
NOTE: Calling the 'ServletResponse.setContentType()' method (as above) is
equivalent to calling the following two ServletResponse methods together:
response.setContentType( "text/html" );
response.setCharacterEncoding( "UTF-8" );
Browsers should (and mostly do, I think) respect the encoding you specify
when setting the response content-type (and the meta-tag content-type) so
you can simply assume (in your filter) that your form-data will be in UTF-8.
Clients still need to, of course, set their browsers to display the relevant
charsets correctly.
HTH.
