UTF-8 encoding and http parameters

Question

I am doing a simple ajax call with the YahooUI Javascript library as follows:

YAHOO.util.Connect.setForm(\'myform\');
YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest(\'POST\         


        

Answer 1

Since you are using a POST query, URIEncoding="UTF-8" is not applicable here. You need to set a filter to tell Tomcat that your request encoding is UTF-8. You may use, for example, a Spring's CharacterEncodingFilter (usage, javadoc). Other implementations of such filters can also be found.
