Firefox 3.5.3, IE7, Safari 4.0.3 See the W3C document for the form element, specifically the accept-charset attribute: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-accept-charset Read the part about UNKNOWN and how clients MAY interpret this as use the current page encoding. This is RFC 'MAY' which basically means it's a recommendation, but not at all required. If you configure your form like this, the client is essentially required to use your specified encoding if it expects the server to behave correctly: form action=... method=POST accept-charset=UTF-8 ... /form Give that a try and see what happens. Does neither work. But thanks. -Halm - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Hi Markus, thanks for your hints. Markus Meyer wrote: It all depends on the client. IIRC if you set the charset in the content type header to utf-8, like this contentType=text/html; charset=utf-8 most browsers will then use utf-8 for HTTP GET and POST requests when responding to the given page. No this doesn't work.

Hi Andre-John, Andre-John Mas wrote: I wan't do it within the application. I prefer to configure the app container or the app itself. I had asked for this too a while back, but I was told the RFC indicates ISO-8859-1, so the developers didn't want to allow you to change the default encoding used by the application server, which is a shame. I say it is a shame, because we can already change the URL encoding and being able to standardise your deployment solutions on UTF-8 would be so much nicer, IMHO. Full ack. My solution was to use a character set filter, described here: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Tomcat/UTF-8 I did that too, but in my opinion that is no solution, it is just an workaround.

Default character encoding for ServletRequest
Hi, Calling %= request.getCharacterEncoding() % in a jsp deployed in a Tomcat 6.0.20 container returns null. Is there any possibility to force a default CharacterEncoding for such requests?

Bearing in mind that you're not really changing what the client requests, or might expect you to be setting... Is there a possibility to force the client to use a specific encoding? -Halm - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
