Class SetCharacterEncodingFilter

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.catalina.filters.FilterBase
      extended by org.apache.catalina.filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter
All Implemented Interfaces:
javax.servlet.Filter

public class SetCharacterEncodingFilter
extends FilterBase

Example filter that sets the character encoding to be used in parsing the incoming request, either unconditionally or only if the client did not specify a character encoding. Configuration of this filter is based on the following initialization parameters:

Although this filter can be used unchanged, it is also easy to subclass it and make the selectEncoding() method more intelligent about what encoding to choose, based on characteristics of the incoming request (such as the values of the Accept-Language and User-Agent headers, or a value stashed in the current user's session.
