If all else fails, I believe you could change the default character encoding for the whole JVM by changing the file.encoding property on the command line:<br />
<br />
java ... -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8<br />
<br />
This is not a good solution at all though.

hi <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; im using a jsp page to process form data.but form data uses multi lingual data .Form data uses UTF-8 .But i came to know that the request.getParameter() method used in JSP page's default encoding is iso-8859.How can i change the default character encoding to UTF-8. Iam using IBM Web Sphere 3.5 with servlet 2.2 specification. im not able to use request.setCharacterEncodi<wbr />ng() method since this version does not support for that API. Is there anything that can be done on the Web Sphere to change the default encoding?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
