Hi,
i have a jsp in which i used
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

when i have spl chacters like (“two”) its displaying correctly in jsp but when i am setting the same in request and sending it
and using
String s = request.getParameters("...);

my s doesnt conatins the original string which was passed in the uel query string

i am developing webapplication using struts
where i need to do character encoding

Raj..

Try using a Character set filter:

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Tomcat/UTF-8

I used the one on the referenced page in my projects, which I deployed using Tomcat with success.

Thanks ajmas for the article

i have followed the same steps mentioned for solving the problem but i am still facing the same issue

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Tomcat/UTF-8

i have configured everything as mentioned in the article
can you suggest what might be the issue

1) configured web.xml
2) i have set the jsp header
3) written the filter class
4) cong/server.xml

i am able the print the the encoder which i have set in the web.xml from my action class before calling the request.getParameter(..

but still my value contains the â??

Raj
