Encoding attribute is used for request and response only or for any other

To handle Http request and response in utf8 I have added following code in
my web.xml in JSP application
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf8"
Is this correct procedure
In short, no.
It will not hurt, but it has nothing to do with the handling of requests
and responses.
The "encoding" attribute of the <xml> tag in the various Tomcat
configuration files, just specifies to the module that parses these
configuration files, in which character set this configuration file is
written. And since encoding="UTF-8" is the default for XML files, what
you did above basically changes nothing at all.
Now, to answer your real question about UTF-8 request/response handling
: that is really a very wide question that you are asking, and you
should probably take this a little bit at a time.
The good news is that Tomcat and Java basically default to
Unicode/UTF-8, so unless you do things really wrong, it should not be a
big problem to support UTF-8 requests and responses.
The following previous messages in this forum entitled "UTF-8 handling
differs between two servlets within the same application", will already
provide you with some good pointers.
