I'd recommend
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<%=response.getContentType()%>">
to make sure that the HTTP Content-Type header and <META> tag contents
were in sync.

This filter should have taken care of encodings for POSTs.  Though I
am always using it with forceEncoding="false".

Maybe you forgot to map this filter? (You may throw/catch an exception
in your code and see, whether the filter is mentioned in the stack
trace.)

        <filter-mapping>
                <filter-name>CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
                <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        </filter-mapping>

Things will also broke if any getParameter() call happens before the
filter. (As it will trigger parsing the body with whatever encoding is
there at that moment).
E.g., Tomcat's RequestDumperValve should not be used.

How is your <FORM> element written on the web page?  Is it a usual
POST - you are not uploading files here (i.e., you are not setting
"enctype" attribute in your <FORM>)?
