Hi
I have done all following changes in my jsp page. I am using struts
and
even have saved my Hindi text in a application recourse file and have
save that file in a UTF-8 encoding format.
I can see in browser the encoding is getting set to UTF-8 because
of the
jsp tag (<[EMAIL PROTECTED] encoding="UTF-8"
contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>).
But still its showing me something other than Hindi (may be garbag). I
tried commenting out the page encoding from jsp page and then I
explicitly changed the page encoding from browser then the text
appears
perfectly in Hindi.
What could be the reason?
As manually changing the encoding in the browser shows the Hindi
correctly, you are obviously sending the correct data, so that's not
the problem.
When the browser attempts to identify the character set of the
document, it looks first for a Content-Type HTTP header, and only if
that isn't found does it look for a <meta> element specifying the
character set - see [1]. I don't know Struts, but a look at the JSP
documentation suggests that you should be using "pageEncoding"
instead of "encoding" in your @page directive. [2] I don't know if
this affects the Content-Type header, or just creates a <meta>
element, though.
If changing that doesn't work, then I would suggest looking at the
raw HTTP headers for your page, to see if the Content-Type header is
correctly specifying UTF-8. If you use Firefox, there are various
ways to do this via extensions such as Firebug, although going to
Tools menu->Page Info may tell you what you need to know. Assuming
you're using Microsoft Windows, a free application called Fiddler,
written by a chap at Microsoft, will allow you to examine the raw
HTTP traffic between your browser and your server [3]. If it turns
out that the Content-Type header in the HTTP response is overriding
any Meta element in the document, then you need to change your server
configuration; at that point, my lack of knowledge of your
configuration leaves me unable to help any further :-(
