How about:
====
String queryString = HttpServletRequest.getParameter("query");
queryString = new String(queryString.getBytes("iso-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
====

Its not very graceful so you can even make a 1-line-method for doing this
and have:
====
decodeURIParams(a, b, c) {
return new String((HttpServletRequest.getParameter(a)).getBytes(b), c);
}

String queryString = decodeURIParams("query", URI_ENCODING_CONST,
URI_DECODING_CONST));
====

This is all pseudo-code but I hope you see what I mean.
