request encoding

Hi

I'm having problems with request encoding. I have som formulars, using 
http GET method. The pages are in UTF-8, and when I submit the formular 
the non ascii charaters gets transformed into what seams to be double 
encodede utf-8. I my web.xml I'v set up the dispatcher:

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <display-name>Maverick Dispatcher</display-name>
        <servlet-class>org.infohazard.maverick.Dispatcher</servlet-class>

    <init-param>
            <param-name>defaultRequestCharset</param-name>
            <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
  </init-param>
.
.
.


which, as far as I know, should be the way to do. But this has no 
effect. ( it has no effect what so ever )

when I submit a value in a input field on the web page with the value of 
Bjørn -> the internal java representation becomes Bjørn
IF i change the browsers encoding from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 and submit 
the same ( with the same defaultRequestCharset ) the java string is correct
 anyone with a suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?

Hans
