request.setCharacterEncoding(String) doesn't work

           Summary: request.setCharacterEncoding(String) doesn't work
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.12
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: michal-apache@krause.cz


I use following construction to set request character encoding:

if (request.getCharacterEncoding() == null) {
        request.setCharacterEncoding("ISO8859-2");
}

In older versions of Tomcat (5.0.7 tested) everything works fine but in version
5.0.12 this construction changes nothing - ISO8859-2 characters in parameter
values are replaced with "?".

$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)
