title: Character encoding URLDecoder on the action
body: <p>I'm attempting to fix a character encoding issue. I realize this is really not a good way to go about it but currently I am just going to bandage it up and when character encoding comes up in a new to do list I will bring a proper solution.</p>
  
  <p>anyway currently i've fixed a character encoding issue with french characters by doing this in the action:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String folderName = request.getParameter(PK_FOLDER_NAME);
  if (response.getCharacterEncoding().equals("ISO-8859-1") &amp;&amp; folderName != null) {
              folderName = URLDecoder.decode(new String(folderName.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8"), "UTF-8");
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however what is the string is an array? how would i do it?
  for example what if string is as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String[] memos = request.getParameterValues(PK_MEMO);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>how would i convert using the URLDecoder than?</p>
