In some servlet container (tomcat and jetty as I know) If you submit
multibytes character in HTML form, it will incorrectly assume that it
is "ISO-8859-1", and return the incorrect encoded string at
request.getparameter() method. In order to get back the correct
string, I need to do the above.

Of course, May be it just because I've setup servlet container
incorrectly, but seem to me that this is a very common practice.
