character encoding issue

[Adam Hardy]

This is something I thought I had sorted out but somehow it popped its 
ugly head up again today.

I have tomcat 5.0.16 and I'm setting the character encoding for my JSPs 
in the web.xml with the new config mechanism:

  <jsp-config>
    <jsp-property-group>
      <description>All JSPs</description>
      <url-pattern>/WEB-INF/general/*</url-pattern>
      <el-ignored>false</el-ignored>
      <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
      <is-xml>false</is-xml>
    </jsp-property-group>
  </jsp-config>
That handles the response and I fix the request by setting all request 
character encoding in a filter.

I have this simple JSP scriptlet:

<%
  String role = request.getParameter("role");
  if (role == null)
    role = "";
  if (role.length() > 0) {
    if (request.isUserInRole(role)) {
%>
      You have been granted role <strong><%= role %></strong><br /><br />
<%
    }
%>
But the JSP destroys my German characters like �, � & �.

I put debug output in the JSP with the following:

request.getCharacterEncoding();
response.getCharacterEncoding();
It shows UTF-8 for both.

This does however setup work for my servlets, which successfully input & 
output the German characters between the browser and the database.

What am I doing wrong anybody?

Thanks
Adam
