problem with non-english characters on solaris

[Jyoti Bansal <jb...@netlens.com>]

Hi all,
 
I am using some non-english characters in HTTP request POST data. When I
post it to the servlet and do a request.getParameter() in the servlet code,
I get all the non-English characters replaced by a '?'.
 
This is happening when the Tomcat is running on Solaris. I have tried using
Tomcat with Apache and also Tomcat standalone.
If I run the same servlet on Windows NT and use the same non-English
characters it works fine.
 
Can you please suggest me what can be wrong? 
I am using internationalized version of JDK and have made sure that i18n.jar
is in classpath , if that could be a reason.
 
Has anyone seen such a problem before?
 
Thanks

hi,
try setting the Locale to the language you are using in your servlet before
the request.getParameter(),
it works fine on windows for me.
