Does URL with japanese request parameters work ?

Question

Environment:
Weblogic 4.5 with sp6
Windows NT 4.0
Browser IE 5.0
I'm trying to pass japanese characters as part of the url to jsp. The URL
link works fine if the link is in html file. But if I ccreate the link using
JSP file it does not work.
details:
I have a .html file containing link
the parameter value for parametr 'test' is japanese
http://localhost:7001/Test.jsp?test=ffftfHf<fg ffftfHf<fg
In Test.jsp, i use
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=shift_jis" %>
and get parameter value for "test" using
String str = new String( newParam.getBytes("8859_1"), "shift_jis");
<%=str%> looks very perfect (i.e. japanese);
using 'str' I create link
"http://localhost:7001/Test.jsp?test=" + str;
which is exactly same as the above.
Now when i click on the link, the Test.jsp gets executed again
But this time,
<%=str%> results in garbled characters.
Can anybody please help me with this ?

Query parameters that are not in the 7-bit ASCII range or are reserved
should be URL escaped. You can do this with multibyte characters by
assuming each escape sequence in a query string is a byte instead of a
character. The one trick is having a way of determining what the byte
encoding was. If you know that it shouldn't be too hard. I'm not sure
how WebLogic in particular will deal with this using the getParameter
methods. The next servlet spec has a method for setting the encoding.
I do all the encoding and decoding processing myself.
