Hi,
I'm having trouble with certain characters when posting them from a form. If I post the String hell� and extract this in my servlet, the last character appears as 2 charcters (latin1 charcaters). If I do a .length() on the String it returns 6 instead of 5.
When the request comes in, a request.getCharacterEncoding() returns null, so before extracting my parameters I set the character encoding of the request to be UTF-8. The page encoding of the submitted form is def UTF-8.
I am running tomcat 4.1.29 and have tested with 4.1.27, 4.1.30 and 5.0.28, all of which give me the same error.
When I deployed the same application to WebLogic it worked fine.
Thanks for any help.
