@jomutsani, Thanks.

This is issues with tomcat version 9 in windows even after adding
relaxedPathChars=“[ \ ] ^ { | }" relaxedQueryChars="[ \ ] ^ { | }” /> this problem remain in there.

But with tomcat 8.5 this works fine for me.

This is great! I’ve also seen a post;

Are you using Java 9 or higher? because, starting with Java 9, xml components are now modules that you need to specify to be included.

You can either add “–add-modules java.xml.bind” to JAVA_OPTS environment variable or edit catalina.bat/catalina.sh to hard code it. But keep in mind that --add-modules does not work in java 8 if you intend to use both jvm versions.

@jomutsani,

I am using java 8 (exact version is java version “1.8.0_231”). In JAVA_OPTS I have included,
-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=“UTF-8” -Dfile.encoding=“UTF-8”
