"That JSP should work on any clean Tomcat installation. "It doesn't
work" isn't very informative. We need details." There realy is not
much more to say. "it worked, now it does not". I also use myeclipse
IDE. I disabled it,reinstalled tomcat, tried it and "it does not
work". I believe that clean instalation of the whole system will work, but
this is not an option at the moment. Neither Tomcat upgrade. What else can
change the way how Tomcat/Java treats the request body? "String decoded =
new String(param.getBytes("iso-8859-1"),"UTF-8"); for a
start" I know about URIEncoding in server.xml and about using Encoding
filter,but we use this for decoding GET request for historical reasons. Or is
there more "correct" way to decode String? Jan
