Question

I Have a Page where I search for a term and it is displaying perfect. Whatever character type it is.

Now when I have few checkboxes in JSP and I check it and submit. In these checkboxes I have one box name like ABC Farmacéutica Corporation.

When I click on submit button, I am calling a function and will set all parameters to a form and will submit that form. (I tested putting alert for the special character display before submit and it is displaying good).

Now, coming to the Java end, I use Springs Frame work. When I print the term in controller, then it is displayed like ABC Farmacéutica Corporation.

Please help…
Thanks in advance.

EDIT :

Please try this sample Example

import java.net.*;
class sample{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
            String aaa = "ABC Farmacéutica Corporation";
            String bbb = "ABC Farmacéutica Corporation";

            aaa = URLEncoder.encode(aaa, "UTF-8");
            bbb = URLDecoder.decode(bbb, "UTF-8");

            System.out.println("aaa   "+aaa);
            System.out.println("bbb   "+bbb);

        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e);      
        }
    }
}

I am getting output as,

aaa   PiSA+Farmac%C3%A9utica+Mexicana+Corporativo
bbb   PiSA Farmacéutica Mexicana Corporativo

Try to print the string aaa as it is.

This is an encoding problem, and the Ã clearly identify that this is UTF-8 text interpreted as ISO-Latin-1 (or one of its cousins).

Ensure that your JSP-page at the top show that it uses UTF-8 encoding.
