urlencoding and Tomcat 5.0

Hi

I used tomcat 4.0.6, 4.1.x, 5.0.x and more without problems.
But now, I have a problem with character encoding.
I use iso-8851-1 all over the place.

My javascript takes a input.value and passes them to my servlet using an url
such as "http://server/servlet?data=" + encodeURIComponent(value).
This workes for some time and I wondered why people are heaving problems
here.

Surprisingly, now I have the same problem.
The german ss "ß" is correctly sent as "%C3%9F".
But tomcat does not decode this any more!

What can I do ?

Regards,
  Steffen
