Thanks a lot, Hassan. Now weve decoded things in the split up components. So knowing how to suppress is obsolete. It has to be set in server.xml. Regards, Karl-Heinz. _____

Weve severe problems if a URL contains an umlaut. For URL usage we encode strings using UTF-8, i.e. ü (which would be ü in HTML) can be viewed as %c3%bc. Getting the request parameter Ild expect the same string. But we see 2 characters. Obviously its interpreted as ISO8859-1 and so we see ü. Its obviously p.i.t.ar. to convert such a thing directly to ü. As a workaround we split the query string ourselves (Java) and store it in a hash map. Using these data we can apply the decoding using UTF-8. There it works good. But the application is big. So we want to remove the real problem. I assume that its some setting in some XML file. How can we suppress such implicit conversions? If my assumption is wrong that Tomcat splits up the query string then please give me a hint which tool is responsible for that. Best regards, Karl-Heinz.
