title: HTTP request encoding Weblogic/Resteasy mock
body: <p>Sending swedish text over the wire with XHR and my understanding is that character set encoding is forced to default UTF-8:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Content-Type   application/json; charset=UTF-8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Upon pick the servlet request gets jumbled (i.e. swedish characters ÄÖÅ). Tried getting at the requests globally in the Weblogic container via the weblogic-application.xml by setting the webapp.encoding.default parameter to UTF-8.  No difference.  Want to also test locally with my Resteasy setup but the mock framework jumbled text as well.  Created a PreProcessInterceptor to check the text prior to handover to the underlying service and same problem there.  I could use the interceptor to force an encoding but it seems I am missing something simple (i.e. a general way to handle encoding/decoding).</p>
  
  <p>Assumption is that the POST data i see in FireBug with the UTF-8 encoding looks good (no jumbling) and once it hits the service the text is jumbled so the problem is the servlet encoding?</p>
