Are you sure your browser is set to UTF-8. By default most browsers do not display in UTF. Start with the browser and work backwards. Is your datasource storing the data in UTF-8? By default Java is in UTF-8 so I am not sure that GF is your real issue.

Answer 3

Have you tried using glassfish-web.xml instead of sun-web.xml ?

To change default Glassfish POST fields encoding, I put this to WEB-INF/glassfish-web.xml, and it worked (I use glassfish 3.1.2):

<!DOCTYPE glassfish-web-app PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD
GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Servlet 3.0//EN"
"http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd">
<glassfish-web-app>
    <parameter-encoding default-charset="UTF-8" />
</glassfish-web-app>

I'm not sure if it will help you, but may help other people having the same problem as me.
