Hi All, I just finished writing this web app that is based on JSPs and Actions under Jakarta Struts deployed in Tomcat 4.02. The app. is providing an interface to read and write to an MDB file (MS-Access) bilingual information in English and in Hebrew. I found out that hebrew characters sent through HTML forms is sent encoded under ASCII (or maybe UTF-8) rather than in the encoding of the page itself (contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-8", or windows-1255, or any suitable one for displaying Hebrew). I know that Struts have nothing to do with it because when I changed the form's method to GET i saw the url contained 8-bit character entities and not 16-bit...
First Question, therefore: Is there a way to force a browser submit a form using the desired encoding, specifically not 8-bit one? Then I had to write conversion process of the Hebrew charset under ASCII to ISO8859, quick and dirty but what could I do. Then another funny thing happened: when I ported the app. from Win2000 to XP it stopped working, due to the following phenomenon: Browser could _display_ Hebrew chars only when encoded ISO8859 or windows-1255(as before) but when my JSPs were trying to send the converted information back to the DB, Access stored them as question marks. Finally I found out that in order to store information in the DB I had to convert it back to ASCII. Before surrendering, I tried fiddling around with the local settings of the OS, the database version (97,2000,2002) with no result. Question number two, then: what-da-funk just happened there? Any help greatly appreciated. I'm afraid I might be missing something basic here about html, http or other charset related.
