Hi, I think you are mixing charset with charencoding. please have a look at the following explanation from www.w3.org concerning this subject: for the time being I solved this issue by putting a charencodingfilter for tomcat to tell it which charencoding to set for the request
####start##### Character sets, coded character sets, and encodings It is important to clearly distinguish between the concepts character set and character encoding. A character set or repertoire comprises the set of characters one might use for a particular purpose â be it those required to support Western European languages in computers, or those a Chinese child will learn at school in the third grade (nothing to do with computers). A coded character set is a set of characters for which a unique number has been assigned to each character. Units of a coded character set are known as code points. For example, the code point for the letter à in the Unicode coded character set is 225 in decimal, or E1 in hexadecimal notation. (Note that hexadecimal notation is commonly used for identifying such characters, and will be used here.) The character encoding reflects the way these abstract characters are mapped to bytes for manipulation in a computer. This explanation glosses over some of the detailed nomenclature related to encoding. More detail can be found in Unicode Technical Report #17. ###end#### on the other hand according to Henning this is already fixed in 2.3.x branch so probably a merge is due ;-) and a clear roadmap from the developers to tell us which direction they are taking at the moment for the next stable release. 2.4.x or 2.3.x or both regards Akmal Am Do, den 02.12.2004 schrieb Leandro Rodrigo Saad Cruz um 22:05: > The charset isn't always US-ASCII ! > > This problem only happens with enctype="multipar/form-data" > (File uploads) and text form fields ! > > This patch is against NTURBINE_2_4_M1 ! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
