Report #753 Details
Project: Servlet API
Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: swbug
State: received
Priority: high
Severity: critical
Confidence: public
Environment:
Release: Tomcat 3.2.1
JVM Release: 1.3
Operating System: Linux / NT
OS Release: 7.2 / 4.51
Platform: Intel
Synopsis:
req.getParameter(name) Ignores charset. always assumes ISO8859-1.
Description:
I have an application that allows the user to enter UNICODE
characters on the WEB browser.
The web page is "rsp.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF8");"
which enables UNICODE support on both IE and NetScape.
When I use "req.getParameter(name)" to get the user input,
it is not decoded correctly. Each byte of the UTF8 stream
is placed in a seperate character. (as if a deprecated String
constructor "String(bytearray,0,0,length)" is being used to
convert the bytes into a String).
This behavior is WRONG!
Java 2 classes should not use deprecated methods!
Also, it destroys important information needed to convert
the input byte stream into it's correct UNICODE String
representation.
Please tell me who supports javax.servlet.

- 1.3, Linux / NT, 7.2 / 4.51, Intel
- Additional Environment Description:
- public String(byte[] ascii, int hibyte, int offset, int count) Deprecated. This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String
