Problem displaying accents in Tomcat
Hi everyone, I have a problem with tomcat 4.1.24 with displaying vowels with accents and special spanish characters such as ntilde;. The scenario is the following : - I have deployed a servlet application that accesses data on a MySQL database. The problem is that when displaying characters with accents or ntilde; they all appear as a question mark. But the fact is that they are correctly saved on the database, so the problem is not with the JDBC. - I am using Tomcat as a Stand-alone so, is acting as web server also. - The fact is that the same application has been running on Apache (Apache-tomcat) with no problem on displaying any character, but now I need it to be running directly on Tomcat as a web server. Any idea on what can be the problem, I am a bit desperate with this, I've been trying to find the solution for a long time now Thanks very much in advance Manuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Problem displaying accents in Tomcat
This is really one for tomcat-user, but seeing as it's quiet... I assume you HAD Apache (HTTP Server) and Tomcat hooked up with mod_jk (or similar) previously and NOW you've just got Tomcat (4.1.24) on its own. Given that this is the case then something else has changed and is causing this problem. What character encoding are you using in you web app? Is it the same server machine that WAS working with Apache HTTP Server and Tomcat? What OS are you running? -Original Message- From: Manuel Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 June 2003 12:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem displaying accents in Tomcat Hi everyone, I have a problem with tomcat 4.1.24 with displaying vowels with accents and special spanish characters such as ntilde;.

Re: Problem displaying accents in Tomcat
Yes, your asumptsion is right. I had apache before hooked to Tomcat. Now the application is running with Tomcat 4.1.24 on its own. The OS is linux, SUSE distro. The character encoding it should be the default one I haven't specified any. So it should be (iso-8859-1) ?

Thanks Manuel I've always used apache + tomcat and needed to add this to CATALINA_OPTS variable when executing tomcat so that it can display characters with tilde properly: CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_15 I use ISO8859_15 both in tomcat and in my database because it also supports euro character.

RE: Problem displaying accents in Tomcat
There are two issues with character encoding. Firstly the charset used by Jasper for jsp source files, this is set in Tomcat web.xml. The default is UTF-8 and will effect jsp source files with special characters. From what I gather this isn't the problem, and only really causes a problem with far-eastern charsets or where the OS does not support UTF-8. The second is the HTTP Content Type. If you don't set this in a jsp/servlet your text including unicode characters fetched from the db will not be displayed properly ie using non-unicode ascii charset. If you aren't setting the ContentType, you will need to either with a tag: %@ page contentType=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 % or code: % response.setContentType(text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1); % Why it worked before withou setting the content type I don't know, but I hope that setting the content type as above solves your problem. -Original Message- From: Manuel Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 June 2003 12:50 To: Tomcat Developers List Subject: Re: Problem displaying accents in Tomcat Yes, your asumptsion is right.
