Setting container-encoding to UTF-8 enables you to share your servlet container (keeping its Latin1 default) with other applications not supporting UTF-8 (and not fiddling with encodings...), if relevant (we had the case...).
Have a look at http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding I think the comment you refer to tries to say that if no charset/encoding is set when producing a response then assume the ISO8859-1 default value (do not ask why ;) ). Alternatively try to do the equivalent of response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8") in your XSL (<xsl:output encoding='utf-8'/> ? sorry from memory, not an XSL specialist...), then you won't get the default encoding back.

Interesting. ISO-8859-1, because <!-- Set encoding used by the container. If not set the ISO-8859-1 encoding will be assumed. Since the servlet specification requires that the ISO-8859-1 encoding is used (by default), you should never change this value unless you have a buggy servlet container. --> I wouldn't call Tomcat buggy, exactly, but the servlet spec made a poor choice in making ISO-8859-1 the default, given that the rest of the planet is going down the UTF-{8|16|32|64} road :-) Certainly fixes the problem though...very many thanks. ///Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@cocoon.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@cocoon.apache.org ____________________________________________________________ • This email and any files transmitted with it are CONFIDENTIAL and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed. • Any unauthorized copying, disclosure, or distribution of the material within this email is strictly forbidden. • Any views or opinions presented within this e-mail are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Odyssey Financial Technologies SA unless otherwise specifically stated. • An electronic message is not binding on its sender.
