Tomcat URIEncoding="UTF-8" in eclipse tomcat setting page

I have eclipse neon which is working correctly with Apache Tomcat 7, and now I want to set URIEncoding="UTF-8" for tomcat's connector. But each time eclipse publishes the project, it will rewrite the server.xml file and deletes my configurations.

I wanted to find a way to set URIEncoding="UTF-8" in eclipse tomcat settings page. There is an option in launch configuration (in tomcat settings page) in common tab as Encoding and I set it to UTF-8, but it is not working too.

Thanks in advance.

In {workspace}/Servers you will find a folder for every Tomcat configuration, containing several configuration files, including the server.xml. There you then can edit the file directly.

To get changes taken into account restart Eclipse.

That is the full sentence for encoding case.

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000"  redirectPort="8443"  URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

But yes I think your problem is not related with this sentences because it seen correct. I have the one alternative way to prevent to not overwrite your server.xml file when restart. You can edit the same encoding configuration settings inside Server project/folder in your eclipse workspace.

So when you run again and again, your settings will never overwrite.
