Note that it's not /all/ parameters that are decoded using ISO-8859-1:
it's only GET parameters. If you use POST, you will likely have better
results.
Note that this means you can't send anything with non-ISO-8859-1
characters in GET parameters safely. There are three solutions:
1. Always use POST (not really a bad idea, but not always practical)
2. Force your container to use UTF-8 to decode GET parameters
(in Tomcat, this can be accomplished using the URIEncoding
attribute of the <Connector> element: see your own container's
documentation for similar capabilities)
3. Never send strings as GET parameters (similar to #1, but somewhat
different: perhaps use HttpSession or other strategies to avoid
passing strings through the URL
Good luck,
