For GET requests it defaults to UTF-8 (though actually it depends on
STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE setting. I prefer to explicitly configure
URIEncoding="UTF-8" on a Connector).
For POST requests you need to use
"org.apache.catalina.filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter" filter (or a
similar 3-rd party filter e.g. the one provided by Spring Framework)
that essentially calls request.setCharacterEncoding() for you.
See webapps/examples/WEB-INF/web.xml for an example.
