Switching on UTF-8 Encoding
Hi What do I need to do so that data returned from Tomcat 4 is returned in UTF-8 encoding to a requesting browser and requests received are read as UTF-8. -- Cheers Tony。 - _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Switching on UTF-8 Encoding
You can use %@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" % in the JSP or
alternatively include the META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
charset=UTF-8" tag in your HTML. This will tell the browser to use the UTF-8
Encoding.
Then when getting the requests, you can do a request.setCharacterEncoding
("UTF-8") before getting anything from the request to allow you to read in
parameters as UTF-8. You could also try just reading in the parameters
without setting that, and then doing param.getBytes("UTF-8").
I've been struggling with some encoding issues for a little while now, but I
have it working, so if you have any other questions, please feel free to email
me and I'll see if I can help.
Good luck,
-Jeff

For writing UTF-8 content, your servlet needs to set the character encoding *before* it gets the response's writer: response.setContentType(text/html;charset=UTF-8); PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter(); writer.println(This line will be written in UTF-8); For reading, the browser should have set a character encoding on its Content-Type header. If it didn't (or if this is a GET request and you are trying to process query string parameters), call the following *before* calling any of the request.getParameter methods (or request.getReader): request.setCharacterEncoding(UTF-8); Note that this method was added in Servlet 2.3, so it won't work in Tomcat 3.x environments. -- Cheers Tony。 Craig -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Switching on UTF-8 Encoding
Thanks Jeff, Timothy, Craig for your replies.
I have a situation where I have a form which is UTF-8 format. In the servlet(I am
acutally using struts)
when I am processing a user request I use
name = userForm.getName(); //Struts saves the information from a form in a Bean
name = new String(name.getBytes(),"UTF-8");
I can then save the name value in a database without problems.
I then use the contents of the Bean to write output in a jsp file but I get garbage.
Does this mean that the format of the data in the Bean is incorrect? Should the
values in this bean be written in a different format?
If it is any use, I printed out the request and response encoding to a log file in the
servlet,
request.getCharacterEncoding() = null
response.getCharacterEncoding() = ISO-8859-1
Cheers
Tony

Re: Switching on UTF-8 Encoding
Hi Tony, The issue maybe in these places: 1. Request object - Jeff has covered the issue. 2. Database I/O - You have find out what type of Unicode encoding does the Database support. (UTF-8 or UCS-2). If it is UCS-2 then you have convert the data into UTF-8 at the java end. 3. The JSP's encoding should set as UTF-8. As mentioned by Jeff. Moreover the browser should have access to the appropriate fonts to show the data.

If you know that you're running on a Servlet 2.3 environment (like Tomcat 4), you can call request.setCharacterEncoding() *before* calling any of the getParameter() methods, and Tomcat will do the translation for you. One approach to this is to use a Filter -- an example filter that does this sort of thing (SetCharacterEncodingFilter) is included in the WEB-INF/classes of the example webapp that is shipped with Tomcat 4.
