Character Encoding Issue with spring application

Question

I am building an application using spring mvc and jpa using jboss7 and mysql in eclipse ide. I am having a strange problem. All my jsp pages are encoded with charset: utf8, which I think is working correctly. But whenever I try to post a data from the jsp to the controller, my data gets encoded with a different encoding style. I tried to look for the header using firebug and was astonished to see that the post request has a header with content-type : "text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1". I have already configured the SetCharacterEncodingFilter for UTF-8 in my web.xml (it is the first filter). But still the problem exists.

I also set "org.apache.catalina.connector.URI_ENCODING" to value="UTF-8".But in vain .

Also I have added bean messageSource with property defaultEncoding set to "UTF-8".

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource" >

The problem still exists. Please help

Thanks in advance.

The request header is set by the browser, so your application can't control it. Usually, in your HTML form you could put an accept-charset=utf-8 attribute to specify the encoding, but that doesn't necessarily work. See this question Setting the character encoding in form submit for Internet Explorer.

you should need to set the encoding of the JVM like follow :

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.io.encoding=UTF-8 -DjavaEncoding=UTF-8

thus there wont be any doubt at all.
