No, it isn't at all. If the ContentType init-param of FreemarkerServlet specifies the charset then that will be the output encoding, end of story. The template only has the last word regarding the encoding of itself, i.e., of the template file, which is not to be confused with the output the template generates. The encoding of the template file is just used as the *default* encoding of the output. > thank you for this comprehensive explanation > > Martin Gainty > ______________________________________________ > Jogi és Bizalmassági kinyilatkoztatás > > Ez az üzenet bizalmas.
