Yet again a problem with POSTs and encodings

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 07:07:11 -0800 

Hi guys,
I went through the documentation and recent posts to the list, yet I cannot solve my problem. My problem is that I am trying to POST non ASCII data to tomcat, but it gets recoded in ISO8859-1 interpretation of UTF-8 byte sequence. 

OK. Here are some more data for my setup
Fedora 8, LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8
Sun JDK 1.5.0_13

Tomcat - I tried both 6.0.14, and 5.5.25

in server.xml I have put:
URIEncoding="UTF-8" in the conf/server.xml files.

I have exported JAVA_OPTS:

echo $JAVA_OPTS
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

It is in fact used by tomcat:

ps fax | grep -i java  gives

30089 pts/3    Sl     0:03 /opt/jdk1.5.0_13/bin/java 
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager 
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/home/ash/apache-tomcat-6.0.14//conf/logging.properties 
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=9000,server=y,suspend=n 
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/ash/apache-tomcat-6.0.14//endorsed -classpath 
:/home/ash/apache-tomcat-6.0.14//bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/ash/apache-tomcat-6.0.14//bin/commons-logging-api.jar 
-Dcatalina.base=/home/ash/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/ 
-Dcatalina.home=/home/ash/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/ 
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/home/ash/apache-tomcat-6.0.14//temp 
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start



Yet this extremely simple jsp gives wrong results:

cat webapps/ROOT/test.jsp:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>
<html>
  <body>
    <form action="test.jsp" method="post">
      <input type="text" name="field" />
      <input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="submitter" />
    </form>
    <hr />
    ${param['field']}
  </body>
</html>

when I enter:

тест in the filed  - I get тест - which is ISO 8859-1 interpretation 
of the utf-8 encoded value.



However - when I change the method to GET or simply do a GET to the 
resource with parameters - everything works fine - Cyrillic gets decoded 
just fine.


I logged the browser requests - they are fine:

http://localhost:8080/test.jsp

I am obviously doing something very wrong but cannot guess it. Any ideas?

Kind regards:
