We are trying to set character encoding to UTF-8 in the request object
(org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade) to ensure that the Danish
and some other characters are
processed correctly.
We observed however that just using request.setCharacterEncoding(
encoding ) does not work and the Danish characters are converted to
question marks.
However when you add the line Enumeration e =
request.getParameterNames() before request.getParameterNames() the
encoding works and the original characters submitted from
the form are retained. The request object is an instance of
org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade.
Has anyone come accross this problem and does anyone know why accessing
the method request.getParameterNames enables the character encoding to
work appropriately?
Thanks
Gautam
