A method we have used with success for inbound request encoding is to add a
Servlet Filter to our application whose sole job is to call
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")

This does however not work with Internet Explorer.
I had this problem in the past. IE insists on using the page charset and
ignores the accept-charset attribute.
There were some more information at this URL

currently not available.
