i remember having this problem a while ago. you can try and play with the form html attributes such as 'charset' to see if you get the behavior you want.
what i eventually did(and i dont recommend this - it takes time) is hooked cos.jar (file upload library from servlets.com) to the faces file upload component instead of commons-upload. the API of cos.jar classes allow to pass a character encoding to the constructor on the root objects before the actual stream parsing begins (commons-upload did not allow that). so i explicitly set it to utf-8 and i worked great. you can maybe go into the commons-upload and see how the algorithms that determines the encoding for the multipart/form-data stream works and than you can fegure out what to do. -----Original Message----- From: Gur Eitan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 10:51 AM To: MyFaces Discussion; Bruno Aranda Subject: RE: Uploading file with a name containing non-ascii chars Hi Bruno, Thanks a lot for your reply. The thing is I tried it with the example... I even tried it now again with the name you gave it, and it doesn't succeed. I also tried it with images other than png, and it fails as well.

I've created two image files: testimage.png and tèstímägê.png, and both files have been uploaded without problems. You could check what is the difference between your application code and the examples. To do so, you should download the examples source from the web site, Regards, Bruno 2005/6/21, Gur Eitan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > Hi > > I'm trying to use the UploadedFile class to upload files.
