Hi, The following is taken from javax.servlet.ServletResponse:
--- The charset for the MIME body response can be specified with setContentType(java.lang.String). For example, "text/html; charset=Shift_JIS". The charset can alternately be set using setLocale(java.util.Locale). If no charset is specified, ISO-8859-1 will be used. The setContentType or setLocale method must be called before getWriter for the charset to affect the construction of the writer. --- If your UTF-8 chars are inside the normal ascii range then you shouldn't have a problem, for those outside, its using the wrong encoding. You will need to set the appropiate content type in response object. Also, you must specify the charset in your HTML (in jsp) as well, otherwise the browser wont know which charset to use to display the characters. I saw a post on here a while ago that said IE often ignores the charset specified and it had to be changed manually. Hope this helps, Chris. -----Original Message----- From: Antony Stace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 February 2002 09:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem with UTF encoding with Action Form Hi I have a jsp page in UTF-8 format with a form in it a user fills out, this form is a session scope Action Form. The user then submits the request and the same page gets returned with the form values from the previous submit on this screen. I did not change the values anyway of the Action Form, they should be the same ones the user submitted in their first step. However, all the fields in this populated form are all garbage. Any idea where my problem is? -- Cheers Tony。 --------------------------------------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
