I'm having this encoding issue that drives me nuts.

Basically there's a form:

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
(...)
head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8">
</head>
(...)
<h1> Header: š ć đ č <h1>
<% out.println("Print: " + request.getParameter("txtArea")); %>
<form method="post" action="newjsp.jsp">
<textarea name="txtArea">š ć đ č</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
--
1) When i press submit it prints out " š ć đ č "
2) If I change encoding from UTF-8 to Windows-1250, I get lots of
question marks: ? ? ? ?
3) If i change encoding from UTF-8 to iso-8859-1, the data prints ok,
but <h1> Header: š ć đ č <h1> becomes <h1> Header: ? ? ? ? <h1>
4) If I change method to GET with utf-8 encoding everything's fine

p.s. "š ć đ č" are croatian letters

Well in the end, after few more hours of work I changed URIEncoding to
"windows-1250" at my server.xml, also changed all utf-8 to
windows-1250. I then changed the letters with their ascii(hex?)
counterparts &#269; etc. I guess that's it.

If you are consistent (labeling and actual content match), then
all encodings supported by the browser and server should work
fine.

To get it working with ISO-8859-1 / Windows-1250 I think you
need to save the file in that encoding instead if the UTF-8 it
apparently is saved in.

The first problem indicates is a bit more tricky. Somewhere
some UTF-8 is being interpreted as ISO-8859-1 / Windows-1250.
Default charset in Java maybe.

That seems all fine.

That is a poor hack.

You could most likely have fixed the last problem by
just saving the file in windows-1250.

Well you're correct of course, it's not really a good solution,
however, changing the encoding on project properties didn't solve the
problem. I'm not sure of some other way to do this (I'm using
Netbeans).
