   1. Set the `URIEncoding` attribute on the <Connector> element in server.xml to something specific (e.g. `URIEncoding="UTF-8"`).
   1. Set the `useBodyEncodingForURI` attribute on the <Connector> element in server.xml to `true`. This will cause the Connector to use the request body's encoding for GET parameters.

   1. Change any content-generation libraries you use (Velocity, Freemarker, etc.) to use UTF-8 as the content type
   1. Disable any valves or filters that may read request parameters before your character encoding filter or jsp page has a chance to set the encoding to UTF-8.  For more information see http://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg21117.html.

  ''Default encoding for GET''
  
- The character set for HTTP query strings (that's the technical term for 'GET parameters') can be found in sections 2 and 2.1 the "URI Syntax" specification. The character set is defined to be [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII|US-ASCII]]. Any character that does not map to US-ASCII must be encoded in some way. Section 2.1 of the URI Syntax specification says that characters outside of US-ASCII must be encoded using `%` escape sequences: each character is encoded as a literal `%` followed by the two hexadecimal codes which indicate its character code. Thus, `a` (US-ASCII character code 0x97) is equivalent to `%97`. There ''is no default encoding for URIs'' specified anywhere, which is why there is a lot of confusion when it comes to decoding these values.

  Some notes about the character encoding of URIs:
   1. ISO-8859-1 and ASCII are compatible for character codes 0x20 to 0x7E, so they are often used interchangeably. Most of the web uses ISO-8859-1 as the default for query strings.
