I believe that the effect of the filter is to result in a double-encoding of the data coming from the form, which is why you are having those problems. According to what you already set with <%...@page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> on the first line of JSP files <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> the POST data from your form should already come to the server as UTF-8. I do not know how Spring works, but assuming it does something like request.getParameter() to get the form input values, these values should already be properly read as UTF-8, and your internal String should receive the correct Unicode values. I have not looked at the filter code, but normally this type of filter will act on the "content", or "body" of a request, not on the URL. So in this case, the filter only runs when the request has a body, which is only in the case of a POST. For a GET (where the form parameters arrive in the query-string part of the URL, and there is no body), the filter is not in the picture. That is why you are seeing this problem with POST, but not with GET. So, take out the filter and let's see what happens. (And also take out your added code above, it should not be there and will corrupt the data, when the data is ok.) If you want a more detailed explanation, come back here. ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© This TC document (http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding) says a such filter needed. I didn't think the problem will be solved by removing the encoding filter. The cause of the problem is the string in the ISO-8859-1 encoding instead of utf-8. The filter is used to make utf-8 encoding happen. I removed the filter and nothing changes. ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
