You need to change the <character-encoding> in the resin.conf (or web.xml).

Resin uses UTF-8 encoding to interpret URLs by default. The example you
give uses Latin-1 to encode the &ntilde; in the URL. The configuration
would look like:

<web-app id='/'>
   <character-encoding>ISO-8859-1</character-encoding>

You could also use Latin-1 instead of ISO-8859-1; they're synonyms
Unfortunately, HTTP assumes both browser and server have agreed
beforehand on which character set to use, so Resin needs to guess.
