request.getQueryString() seems to need some encoding

Question

I have some problem with UTF-8. My client (realized in GWT) make a request to my servlet, with some parametres in the URL, as follow:

http://localhost:8080/s         


        

Answer 1

For POST request I resolved the problem next way.

1. Set URIEncoding="UTF-8" attr in server.xml for Connector; (I use Tomcat 8)
2. Set request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") before parameters retrieving.

Finally, I have got correct utf-8 characters deliery:

e.g.

String name = request.getParameter("name");

name contains correct utf-8 string.
