Hi,
Third try ;-)
I have a problem with the character encoding in Jrun 2.3.3 (build date
november, 30, 1999), JSP 0.92.

I changed "page compilation" in jse and jseweb to default text encoding
ISO8859_1, but it doesn't work, I get only question marks for the german
"umlauts" (ASCII-Characters in the range from 196 to 252) when I
call a JSP-page in my browser.
The default setting, blank, delivers the same result. I tried it with
the standalone jseweb and with a jse connected to a IIS 4.0 on Windows
NT-Server (SP 4) for the Intel platform.

The page contains a 
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html;charset=iso-8859-1");"
respectively a
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
The page directive
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"%>
results in a JSP Parse Error:
JSP Directive <%@  %> contenttype is not recognized.

I've seen that Tomcat 3.1 (JDK/JRE 1.3) has the same problem, while IIS
with HTML or ASP files doesn't have it.
Is this a bug or a misconfiguration of my server, are there workarounds
besides the &...; character entities? I need these special characters
for the keywords- and description-metatags, therefore I don't want to
use these entities.

As a matter of principal: When I declare such a ISO-8859-1 charset I
should await that I can represent such charcters in the range from 196
to 252 without character entities - or is this a misunderstanding? If I
can't, why should I use ISO-8859-1 and not ASCII?

Thanks in advance
Michael
