You can use the request.setCharacterEncoding method in TC 4.x (or any other
2.3 container) before requesting the parameters. However, it will probably
be more successful if you is an ISO charset (e.g. iso-8859-2).
If you don't need to have the 2.3 servlet spec features, I'd recommend
trying 3.3.1 which has very good "guessing" logic for the charset (the
principal author is a iso-8859-2 user).
