From the spec :
SRV.4.9 Request data encoding
If the client hasn�t set character encoding and the request data is encoded with
a different encoding than the default as described above, breakage can occur. To
remedy this situation, a new method setCharacterEncoding(String enc) has
been added to the ServletRequest interface. Developers can override the
character encoding supplied by the container by calling this method. It must be
called prior to parsing any post data or reading any input from the request. Calling
this method once data has been read will not affect the encoding.
