Storing UTF-8 data with multipart/form-data

["Maini, Puneet (Cognizant)" <Pu...@pun.cognizant.com>]

I'm storing Japanese characteres in the database & then display the same on JSP.

The changes I've done to achieve this are:
*	Added following in JSP 
	<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>.
*	Added following in JSP/HTML
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
*	Set the encoding type of Container to UTF-8

Everything works fine & I'm able to store data in Japanese & can also display the same properly till this problem came.

I'm trying to upload a file & so I specified the enctype as "multipart/form-data;charset=UTF-8"

<html:form action="/test.do" method="post" name="FormName" type="com.test.bean.LoadActionForm"
     enctype = "multipart/form-data;charset=UTF-8">

If I remove the "charset=UTF-8" from the enctype, data does not get saved properly in Japanese.
And after adding it the following exception came:

I'm using Struts Stable Release (1.0.2).

Any help or idea to overcome this probelm would be highly appreciated.
