Hi Fred,

In the html header u will have to set the char set as SHIFT JIS. And in the
browser SHIFT JIS should be set.

Punam

Subject: Japanese Characters in JSP's


Hi All,

I'm having a bit of trouble with getting JSP's with Japanese characters
within them.  I'm working with a Windows XP system with JDK 1.4.2 and Tomcat
4.1.24.  The problem seems persistent, though, on RH Linux with JDK 1.4.1_03
as well.  I have no problem with Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, and other
non-Latin-1 character sets, just Japanese (so far).

More confusing, my test file is a very simple HTML document that Tomcat
services properly when I'm simply calling it as an HTML file, such as:

    http://localhost:8080/testfile.html

All I do is rename it to testfile.jsp, and it comes out all garbled.  I've
done the same test with a myriad of HTML files with various character sets
including cp1251, iso8859-5, etc.  Everything works fine except for
Japanese -- I believe my file uses Shift_JIS.  I don't have test files for
other multi-byte character sets so I've no idea if it's exclusive to
Japanese or if, for example, Chinese would not work either.

I've also tried adding response.setLocale (new java.util.Locale ("ja")) to
the top of the page; it made no difference.  I've also tried reading
everything I could find, and I'm empty handed.  This seems like it shouldn't
be quite as difficult as it is.

TIA!

    -Fred
