UTF-8 encoding in JSP page [duplicate]

Answer 1

This thread can help you: Passing request parameters as UTF-8 encoded strings

Basically:

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
String login = request.getParameter("login");
String password = request.getParameter("password");

Or you use javascript on jsp file:

var userInput = $("#myInput").val();            
var encodedUserInput = encodeURIComponent(userInput);
$("#hiddenImput").val(encodedUserInput);

and after recover on class:

String parameter = URLDecoder.decode(request.getParameter("hiddenImput"), "UTF-8");

Page encoding or anything else do not matter a lot. ISO-8859-1 is a subset of UTF-8, therefore you never have to convert ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 because ISO-8859-1 is already UTF-8,a subset of UTF-8 but still UTF-8. Plus, all that do not mean a thing if You have a double encoding somewhere. This is my "cure all" recipe for all things encoding and charset related:

        String myString = "heartbroken ð";

//String is double encoded, fix that first.

                myString = new String(myString.getBytes(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
                String cleanedText = StringEscapeUtils.unescapeJava(myString);
                byte[] bytes = cleanedText.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
                String text = new String(bytes, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
                Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
                CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
                decoder.onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE);
                decoder.onUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE);
                CharsetEncoder encoder = charset.newEncoder();
                encoder.onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE);
                encoder.onUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction.IGNORE);
                try {
                    // The new ByteBuffer is ready to be read.
                    ByteBuffer bbuf = encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(text));
                    // The new ByteBuffer is ready to be read.
                    CharBuffer cbuf = decoder.decode(bbuf);
                    String str = cbuf.toString();
                } catch (CharacterCodingException e) {
                    logger.error("Error Message if you want to");

                }
