Any help much appreciated. Everything you need to know is there in the stack trace. See below. >>> Oct 25, 2007 12:04:23 AM org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters >>> processParameters >>> WARNING: Parameters: Character decoding failed. Parameter skipped. One of your request parameters has been ignored because it could not be decoded from %xx form. And the reason ... >>> java.io.CharConversionException: isHexDigit One of the x characters in %xx is not a hex digit (0-9, A-F). Start looking at your requests (I use TcpMon from the Axis project but there are plenty of tools that do the same sort of thing) and see which of the %xx values is invalid. Are you using mod_jk at all? If so, you'll need to look at browser to httpd/IIS/etc and httpd/IIS/etc to Tomcat. You can turn up the log level to look at the mod_jk messages.
