Why does POST not honor charset, but an AJAX request does? tomcat 6

Question

I have a tomcat based application that needs to submit a form capable of handling utf-8 characters. When submitted via ajax, the data is returned correctly from getParameter

Answer 1

Have you tried accept-charset="UTF-8"? As you said, the data should be encoded according to the encoding of the page itself; it seems strange that tomcat is ignoring that. What browser are you trying this out on?
