reading Arabic character HttpRequest object

[Abhijit Das]

hi,

I want to read the Arabic font from the HttpServletRequest object. I have inserted a Arabic word in a input control and send the data in the Server (JBoss).
But, I have got the garbage value by using
request.getParameter("inputControlName");

Again,I want to store the the Arabic string into the mySQL 4.1 datablase.

Please help me.

Thanks
