http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5715 response.setContentType() in Filter.doFilter not changed content type [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WORKSFORME | ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-11-02 18:24 ------- Currently, when a JSP is compiled to java code, it includes a line such as: response.setContentType("text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"); However, this seems to preclude setting the content type in a servlet filter, as anything that is set in the filter is over-ridden by the JSP. Eg, with our product JIRA - we must cater for many different character sets, and so we can't hard-code the characterset in the header of the JSP, and must set it at runtime. To do so, we use a filter that does this: servletRequest.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); servletResponse.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8"); Which works fine on Orion and Resin. But fails on Tomcat and Jetty (presumably because they share the same JSP compilation engine). You can't set it after the JSP has been called, because by then the response has been committed, and you can't set headers after that time. Any ideas on how to fix it? Could you make setContentType immutable? So only allow it to be set once? Else change the JSP compiler so that it checks if contentType has already been set before setting it? This prevents JIRA running on Tomcat with configurable charactersets, and presumably other applications are in the same position.
