Spring web app encoding

I'm currently working on a web application platform being called by other sites using POST forms. Some sites call us using UTF-8, others call us using ISO-8895-1. Since my application is in UTF-8, some of the characters passed by the calling sites appear weird on my side.

Ex: Montréal -> Montr�al

I tried to "convert" the string like this:

new String(request.getParameter("city").getBytes("ISO-8895-1"), "UTF-8");

But i'ts not working, I'm getting "Montr?al"

Is it possible to convert encoding like this?

Is it possible to use different request encoding depending of the calling site?

It seems the encoding type is wrong in your case. ISO-8895-1 should be ISO-8859-1 (8895 -> 8859).
