UnsupportedEncodingException

Question

I have written a simple servlet to read the contents of an http request and print it out. The request contains a soap message, but I am not parsing it in this servlet, simply printing the request contents out. I am using iPlanet Web Server 6.0. When my servlet tries to do request.getReader() I get:
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - UTF-8
With trace I can see the contents of the request being sent:
Client Data, POST /missingkids/servlet/SimpleSoapHttpReceiveServlet HTTP/1.1
SOAPAction: "uri:SoapHttpReceiveServlet"
Content-Type: text/xml; charset="UTF-8"
User-Agent: SOAP Toolkit 3.0
Host: localhost:8060
Content-Length: 1381
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

     xmlns:SOAPSDK2= "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns:SOAPSDK3="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
     xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

<To xsi:type="xsd:string">You</To>
<Messageid xsi:type="xsd:string">9999</Messageid>
</Message>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
My servlet code:
if(request.getContentLength() > 0)
try{
java.io.BufferedReader reader = request.getReader();
     String line = null;
     while((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
          System.out.println(line);
catch(Exception e)
     System.out.println(e);
Any ideas why I get this error? Thanks.

Try not putting the quotes around UTF-8.
