Okey,Craig you were right that before adding the item into the hashtable it
was garbled.
when i trace back to the origin of that parameter, i see that it comes from
an html form filled
by a user from another jsp page. then the problem became like this:
how or what should i do to be able to receive meaningful big5 chars from an
html form?
As i previously faced the same problem, i knew how to solve it.
(using jason hunter's ParameterParser class)
As a result my porgram works correctly, now.
thanks a lot. I appreciate your help with this problem.
best regards :)
