Yoav is correct that Tomcat (and probably most servlet containers) simply
consider meta tags as just some text to push to the browser. The problem is
that (assuming the browser can read the tag at all), Tomcat is sending in
iso-latin-1, not what is in your meta tag.
But is that really the
Howdy,
Does Tomcat see any difference in a servlet that calls setContentType()
before generating a page for output versus not calling setContentType()
but
including an HTML meta http-equiv='Content-Type' ... tag in the
generated
page?
You might want to define Does Tomcat see any difference more
Actually, you don't get an exception if you don't call setContentType: You
just get you page encoded and sent to the browser in iso-latin-1 (as per the
spec).
