If you tell Tomcat that you'll provide URIs which are encoded in UTF-8 then do as you said and provide UTF-8-encoded URIs. Your example above should therefore look like http://localhost/main.jsp?path=ol%C3%A9 If you're using HTML-forms with method="GET", set the accept-charset attribute of the form to UTF-8. > Is there a way to make French characters work both in Directory Listings > and in GET parameters? Yes. See above.
