I'm building a mutilaguage website in which i use UTF-8 as the charset for my servlet but the
getParameter() method uses ISO-8859-1 as its default encoding which results in the unicode
characters not found in ISO-8859-1 are mapped incorrectly to different characters. Such as the
special german characters for each mapped to two incorrect characters. So, how can i enforce the
getParameter() to use UTF-8 to generate valid unicode characters ?
