Is there a way to tell JBoss to globally use UTF-8 encoding to HttpServlet requests?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Currently, if the encoding is not set on an HttpServletRequest, it defaults to iso-8859-1. Is there a way to set the default to utf-8 without having to call request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")?

  • Is there any other way to set the URI_ENCODING property other than JBoss system property?
