That indicates the character set you're using doesn't include the
characters in question. Set the character set for your JSP pages to UTF-8
(i.e. set the content-type to "text/html;charset=UTF-8"), and the browser
will use that to post forms instead of numeric entities.
hope this helps,

I'm having a little problem with forms. When I type non-ascii characters in a
form and submit it, all such characters are being received as HTML numeric
entities and thus fail validation (in my particular case, a popup calendar
field in which the month name is Ġun, in which the date "30-Ġun-2005" is
received as "30-Ġun-2005"
Is there anything I can configure so that these numeric entities are
translated?
I am using Firefox and JBoss 4.0.3 (tomcat 5.5) on linux.
