Can you give an example? What do you enter and what is the result in the servlet? – boes
Can you give an example of this "different value" that you are seeing? You are mostly likely not setting the encoding for the incoming request (either in your HTML form, or in the servlet container for reading URLs). – Vineet Reynolds

Thanks to all i got the solution, and posted here,

The problem is that the information sent by the browser hasn't got a well-defined encoding.

But most of browsers will use the encoding of the page.So if you use UTF-8 in all your pages, then most browsers will send all data in UTF-8 encoding as well.

You can tell your application server to treat any input as UTF-8, by calling,

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
