I'm uploading file using fileupload library.
My servlet looks like this:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    @Override
    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
	super.init(config);
	realPath = getServletContext().getRealPath(DESTINATION_DIR_PATH);
        destinationDir = new File(realPath);
	if(!destinationDir.isDirectory()) {
            throw new ServletException(DESTINATION_DIR_PATH + " is not a directory");
	}
    }
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        
        response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
        request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

        System.out.println(request.getParameter("docName"));

        upl = new XMLFileUpload(destinationDir);
        try {
            upl.sendUpload(request, response);
            String dir = StructureHandler.getDocName();
            String outputDir = realPath + DESTINATION_DOWNLOAD_PATH + StructureHandler.getParameter()[0];
            rw.createDocument(outputDir);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(XMLRegister.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
        
        RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/succesful.jsp");
        rd.forward(request, response);
    }

Ant the upload method:

    public void sendUpload(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception{
        int i = 0;
        FileItemFactory fileItemFactory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
        ServletFileUpload uploadHandler = new ServletFileUpload(fileItemFactory);
        try {
            request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
            List items = uploadHandler.parseRequest(request);
            Iterator itr = items.iterator();
            while(itr.hasNext()) {
                FileItem item = (FileItem) itr.next();
                if(item.isFormField()) {
                    StructureHandler.getParameter() = item.getString();

i++;

} else {

File file = new File(destinationDir, item.getName());

item.write(file);

StructureHandler.setDocName(item.getName());

tr.readFile(file.getAbsolutePath());

}

}

} catch(FileUploadException ex) {

throw new Exception("Error encountered while parsing the request " + ex);

}

}
The problem is that I can not get my symbols from fields encoded correctly.
Did I miss something?
