实现我的目标的复杂方法确实是编写我自己的javax.servlet.Filter并将其嵌入过滤器链中。该解决方案符合Tomcat Wiki-
字符编码问题中提供的Apache
Tomcat建议。

更新（2010-07-31）：
此过滤器的第一个版本解释了查询字符串本身，这是一个坏主意。POST与其他servlet过滤器（如URL重写）结合使用时，它不能正确处理请求，并且出现问题。该版本将包装最初提供的参数并重新编码。为了使其正常工作，URIEncoding（例如在Tomcat中）必须将其配置为ISO-8859-1。

/**
 * Automatically determines the encoding of the request parameters. It assumes
 * that the parameters of the original request are encoded by a 1:1 mapping from
 * bytes to characters.
 * <p>
 * If the request parameters cannot be decoded by any of the given encodings,
 * the filter chain is not processed further, but a status code of 400 with a
 * helpful error message is returned instead.
 * <p>
 * The filter can be configured using the following parameters:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code encodings}: The comma-separated list of encodings (see
 * {@link Charset#forName(String)}) that are tried in order. The first one that
 * can decode the complete query string is taken.
 * <p>
 * Default value: {@code UTF-8}
 * <p>
 * Example: {@code UTF-8,EUC-KR,ISO-8859-15}.
 * <li>{@code inputEncodingParameterName}: When this parameter is defined and a
 * query parameter of that name is provided by the client, and that parameter's
 * value contains only non-escaped characters and the server knows an encoding
 * of that name, then it is used exclusively, overriding the {@code encodings}
 * parameter for this request.
 * <p>
 * Default value: {@code null}
 * <p>
 * Example: {@code ie} (as used by Google).

尽管代码的大小相当小，但是有些实现细节可能会出错，因此我希望Tomcat已经提供了类似的过滤器。

要激活此过滤器，我将以下内容添加到了我的web.xml：

<filter>
  <filter-name>EncodingFilter</filter-name>
  <filter-class>de.roland_illig.webapps.webapp1.EncodingFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>encodings</param-name>
    <param-value>US-ASCII, UTF-8, EUC-KR, ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-1</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>inputEncodingParameterName</param-name>
    <param-value>ie</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>EncodingFilter</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
