Slightly off-topic but similarly - tomcat does have a problem with
multi-byte characters.
If you try to browse a file system via tomcat on a Kanji or Chinese
language
system you'll get a 'not an ISO-8859_1' character exception from tomcat if
any of the filenames
contain multi-byte characters.
It seems to be related to the workaround in the following code:
[\src\share\org\apache\tomcat\core\BufferedServletOutputStream.java]--
public void print(String s) throws IOException {
if (s==null) s="null";
int len = s.length();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
char c = s.charAt (i);
//
// XXX NOTE: This is clearly incorrect for many strings,
// but is the only consistent approach within the current
// servlet framework. It must suffice until servlet output
// streams properly encode their output.
//
if ((c & 0xff00) != 0) { // high order byte must be zero
String errMsg = sm.getString(
"servletOutputStreamImpl.fmt.not_iso8859_1",
new Object[] {new Character(c)});
throw new IOException(errMsg);
}
write(c);
}
}
True, it isn't related to this problem, but it does demonstrate a problem
that tomcat has with multi-byte characters.
What is tomcat's position on multi-byte chars in general and, how could I
work around this restriction.
