As Stephen C said a filter can be used to get the right encoding. We had this problem on JBOSS 7.1.1 and implemented a filter.

In web xml

    set character encoding
    RequestEncodingFilter
    com.myapp.RequestEncodingFilter
    
        encoding
        UTF-8
    


    RequestEncodingFilter
    /*

Filter class:

public class RequestEncodingFilter implements Filter {

private static final String ENCODING = "encoding";
private String configuredEncoding;

@Override
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
    configuredEncoding = filterConfig.getInitParameter(ENCODING);
}

@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException {
    servletRequest.setCharacterEncoding(configuredEncoding);
    filterChain.doFilter(servletRequest, servletResponse);
}

@Override
public void destroy() {
}

}
