String str=request.getParameter();
I am facing a problem when i submit the arabic values from hidden form fields using javascript.
In servlet when i tries to retrive the arabic values stored in the session, it displays only
garbage values(ie. ?).
How to solve this problem?
Please clarify and if possible give some samples.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Govindaraman,
in O'Reilly's Servlet book in the internationalization section it describes how. You have to change the String returned into bytes using the proper enconding, then back into a String to it will convert to Unicode.
The basics are this:
String parameterName="your param name";
String encoding = "your charset encoding on the page";
String value = request.getParameter(parameterName);
value = new String(value.getBytes(), encoding);
value is now a Unicode string that should be correctly interpreted.
You can use new String( oldString.getBytes(), encoding) to convert between charsets.
