I have recently tried to get our JSP application to work with the character set iso8859_2 and am experiencing a few problems I am using tomcat 3.2.3 with jdk1.3.1 on Windows 2000 and solaris. When I send back a URL with parameters with characters in the iso8895_2 character set, I am getting an exception in tomcat. It appears as though the getParameter() call cannot handle having unicode characters in the string, which the javascript command encode inserts. (Trying this with JRun 3.1 with jdk1.3, I did not experience this same problem.) The string being sent back is: Body.jsp?remove=F2%20W%B3a%u0153ciciel%20budynku The correct polish representation for this string is: (this may not appear correctly) F2 Właoeciciel budynku The expception I am getting is: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Decode error at org.apache.tomcat.util.RequestUtil.unUrlDecode(RequestUtil.java:346) Any help on solving this problem I would greatly appreciate.
