configuration of page encoding in tomcat 5

[Adam Hardy]

I'm testing the character encoding configuration in tomcat 5 in the 
deployment descriptor.

I'm using Struts - Tiles servlets and normal JSPs.

I'm using the <locale-encoding-mapping-list/> and the <jsp-config/> .

If I leave out the pageEncoding page directive from the JSPs and I leave 
out the <page-encoding> tag from the <jsp-config>, with the 
configuration below, the returned content-type http header is purely 
'text/html' with no character set.

I.e. tomcat ignores the <locale-encoding-mapping-list/>

Is this intentional? Is the <locale-encoding-mapping-list/> overriden by 
the JSP page, which has no page encoding set?



I've got the following config:

  <jsp-config>
    <jsp-property-group>
      <description>
        Trial run
      </description>
      <display-name>Geronimo!</display-name>
      <url-pattern>/WEB-INF/general/*</url-pattern>
      <el-ignored>false</el-ignored>
      <scripting-invalid>false</scripting-invalid>
      <is-xml>false</is-xml>
    </jsp-property-group>
  </jsp-config>
  <locale-encoding-mapping-list>
    <locale-encoding-mapping>
      <locale>en</locale><encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding>
    </locale-encoding-mapping>
    <locale-encoding-mapping>
      <locale>de</locale><encoding>ISO-8859-15</encoding>
    </locale-encoding-mapping>
  </locale-encoding-mapping-list>
I'm using

wget -S --header='Accept-Language: de' http://localhost:8080/home.do

to read the headers, if that makes any difference.
