1) 4.1.12 is full of bugs
2) HTML header is prior to <meta> tag, so if you don't specify encoding in
the response the default one is
enforced "ISO-8859-1" (you can see it in generated code for JSP servlet)
3) Setting it directly to response.setContentType() wont work, don't know
why, it's a bug in Tomcat as far
as I investigated
4) Only solution is to use <[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding=... %> in the begining of
your JSPs and that does not work
for me for all the tomcats 4.1.X but works for 4.0.6
I can't say WHY it is happening!
I guess coz it is open source code and nobody is responsible for anything!

Subject: Internationalization Problem
Hi
I have been working on Internationalization and during
that process I encountere this strange problem.
My server is sending the right characters(Russian) to
the browser. And also I have put this tag "<META
HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type"
CONTENT="text/html;charset=utf-8">" in the head pasrt
of my out put.
The problem is browser cannot render the characters
correctly. And when I see the view -> Encoding menu of
the browser "Western Europian(Windows)" was selected.
If I manually change that to UTF-8 it paints the
correct characters.
So I added the code(socument.chatset="utf-8") to force
the browser to select UTF-8 as encoding. This time the
encoidng was selected as UTF-8 and still the browser
doesnt paint the characters correctly. If I click on
view->Encoding->UTF-8 manually(Though utf-8 is
selected by default). It paints the characters
correctly.
I am confused with this kind of behaviour. I am using
tomcat4.1.12 as my servlet engine and web server. And
also I am using struts framework(tag lib also).
Note: When I set the charset in the response. The
server doesnt send the right characters to the
browser. If I dont set any charset in the response
header, server sends the right charset to the browser.
I am also confused whether the problem is browser or
the server.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks
Chaitanya
