Hi everybody again!
I have found the solution for my problem and want to share my experience with
Tomcat Users List because it may be useful for somebody else
The point is that the default encoding behaviour of request object in
ApacheJServ case provided a right recognition for characters transfered
within request, but default behaviour has a tendency to change sometimes and
for this case W3C has foreseen the atribute accept-charset for element/tag
form
So to be short it should be in Tomcat case
<form action="action.jsp" method="POST" accept-charset="ISO-8859-5">
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...........
</form>
instead of simple
<form action="action.jsp" method="POST">
to provide a right processing of characters different from latin, in my case
cyrrilic.
accept-charset should be ISO even if I have KOI8-R or Windows 1251 encoding
for page itself
Hope it will be useful for you and if you have other ideas or better
explanation for this issue they are greatly appreciated
With best regards,
ilis
