put an encoding filter in front of your servlet/jsp's that sets a UTF-8 
encoding for incoming requests and outgoing responses. its your safest bet for 
tomcat 4 as far as i remember.

Hello,
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.18
I'm trying to read hebrew data in utf-8 encoding from the database. As a
check I entered a utf-8 encoded 'alef' letter to the database field.
(I see it in the database as one letter 'alef'). The jsp page that
displays the data, prints two chars instead of one. I checked the values
of these chars and
they are 215 114, which are the utf-8 combination to create the letter
'alef'  (so I was told).

jps code:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8" info="Tables Handler" import="tablesHandler.*" %>

<jsp:useBean id="tables" scope="page" class="tablesHandler.TableViewer" />
<jsp:setProperty name="tables" property="*"/>

<% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");%>

<html>

<head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>

Move <% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");%> to before jsp:useBean tag.



Thanks for replying,
It didn't fix the problem, I still see the same two chars.
Yair.

Guy, can you direct me to practical documentation on implementing such a filter ?

Hi again,
I implemented the SetCharacterEncodingFilter from the tomcat 4 examples,
In order to check the control I have on the character encoding of the request and
response I changed the doFilter method to be:

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
                        FilterChain chain)
   throws IOException, ServletException {

   request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
   System.out.println("Request: "+request.getCharacterEncoding());
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
   System.out.println("Response: "+response.getCharacterEncoding());
   // Pass control on to the next filter
       chain.doFilter(request, response);

   }

request.getCharacterEncoding() returns null. It also returns null if I put the request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
as a remark. (my page contains utf-8 encoding directives).
The response however is set to UTF-8.
Can this explain my problem using UTF-8 encoding ?
Does anybody know how to solve it ?
