这里是一个具体的例子：
现在因为浏览器对UTF-8的支持，我们可以通过在源文件、请求、响应中都使用unicode编码方式，来轻松达到处理国际化和字符编码问题的目标。
以我们使用的tomcat4.1.2为例，过程如下：
1、编写jsp页面时：在每个JSP页面在页首都要增加一行：
在编辑JSP页面时，一定要确保JSP文件以unicode的方式保存，目前几乎所有的编辑器都有以unicode编码保存或将文件内容转换成unicode的功能。
2、增加一个用来声明request的CharacterEncoding的类SetCharacterEncodingFilter.Java；
SetCharacterEncodingFilter的这个类主要的作用就是：把request在从页面刚提交到server端的时候的encoding声明为我们想要的encoding，通过调用request的方法setCharacterEncoding (String encoding) 来改变，这样可以使request的从客户端传过来的时候，按我们在web.XML (在第二点可以讲到) 中配置的encoding来对提交的数据编码。
3、修改web.xml文件，配置一个filter来过滤全部url请求，通过第二步中的类，声明所有url请求的编码类型未UTF-8。
在web.xml文件中加上以下这段：
Set Character Encoding
org.kyle.web.sample.SetCharacterEncodingFilter
encoding
UTF-8
Set Character Encoding
/*
在上面这段文字中“org.kyle.web.sample.SetCharacterEncodingFilter”指定步骤2中的类的位置，“ UTF-8”指定我们希望声明的request的编码类型，“/*”指定这个filter的适用范围(这里指的是全部url请求)。
同时注重二个问题：
1：servlet的版本必需是支持request.setCharacterEncoding(String encoding)这个方法才行,也就是在serlvert2.3以上。
2：控制面板区域设置的当前代码页属性必需设定为"936 (GBK)"，假如是"437（OEM-United States）"它处理文字的时候是8－bit，而中文和日文等是16－bit。所以在显示和处理时它把中文的前8位给截掉，这样就会出现乱码问题。
