Request character encoding.

Hello.

I need to know how can I change the character encoding of request to other then default.

For example I want it be a "UTF-8", but the default is "US-ASCII".

I tried to change it via the "config tool" (Alone->services->http->Encoding), did a restart to a SAP_J2EE server, but when I look in the debugger the instance of HttpServletRequest still has it's

characterEncoding property set to null (default).

Any ideas how to make it happen?

Thanks in advance.
