You are on the right track. 1. Ensure that MySQL supports using a unicode character set. You may need to define this at install time, that is how oracle works. 2. When request parameters come in, they are assumed to be ISO-8859 (or whatever your platform default is) and encoded from there to unicode. You need to tell the web container that the input stream coming in from clients is actually in UTF-8, not ISO-8859.
If you are using a 2.3 servlet container this trick is much easier. There is a struts parameter to the controller servlet will have some impact here, try setting the content parameter to be "text/html;charset=UTF-8". If you are not using a 2.3 servlet container (e.g., old tomcat) your work will be somewhat more involved. Also try reading http://tagunov.newmail.ru/i18n/i18n.html good luck. --Michael Christopher Cheng wrote: > I am struggling with double byte characters with the JSP > > On the struts jsp form, I am putting > > <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> on the top <META > http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in the > head > > I got some question marks when I print the characters in the console by > System.out.println(request.getParameter("parameter1") > Or save those character to file > > The same thing happens with the data retrieved from MySQL displayed on > JSP. > > Anybody helps? > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
