 +===== Troubleshooting ===== 
 + 
 +==== Problem with UTF-8 encoding when using GET method ==== 
 + 
 +There might be a problem if some servlet containers (e.g. Tomcat) do not use UTF-8 to parse request parameters from the query string of the request URI. 
 +There are two soloutions to this problem: 
 +  - solution(partial): Make OQLServlet use POST method instead. 
 +  - solution (Tomcat only): Make Tomcat use UTF-8 encoding for request parameters encoded in query string. Edit server.xml and add useBodyEncodingForURI="true" to Connector, for example: <file xml><Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443" useBodyEncodingForURI="true"/></file> Alternatively, you might use URIEncoding="UTF-8".
