i'm not sure if you're experiencing the same problem that i had but.. i
had problems getting form-data.
when i checked the locale setting on the request object
(request.getLocale()) it was set to iso8859-1.
i think tomcat sets the encoding to iso8859-1 by default if we don't
specify the encoding.  you can
set the encoding manually using setCharacterEncoding() method.

request.setCharacterEncoding("shift_jis");

and place the following line on the top of your JSPs.

<%@ page contentType = "text/html;charset=shift_jis"%>

Subject: displaying JAPANESE characters


hi list,

   i'm a bit confuse here.

   i have my web aplication run on Solaris 8.0 (English Version OS)
machine, in my application i tried to
   display Japanese characters as data that was generated dynamically.
This works fine, i just place
    "charset = shift_jis" on my html tag.

   but, when i deploy it to Solaris 8.0 (Japanese Version OS) my
Japanese characters turn into garbage like
   it displays only like this "????".

   does somebody expercience like this problem?

   im using Tomcat 4.0 and jdk1.3.1

thanks

  randie
