List,
A servlet I am debugging and trying to understand sets the response's contentType as follows:
response.setContentType( "text/html;charset=UTF-8" );
Shortly following the following forward is done:
request.getRequestDispatcher( jspPage ).forward( request, response ); response.getWriter().flush();
The JSP forwarded gets the response with the contentType set, but commiting the response seems to reset the contentType to text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1, the default.
The JSP in the forward does not set a pageEncoding attribute in the page directive, so I'm pointing the finger there at the moment. Can someone outline what is going on behind the scenes of the requestDispatcher call that would be reseting the response's contentType?
From the documentation:
"...Uncommitted output in the response buffer is automatically cleared before the forward."
So, is the call to response.setContentType() being "reset" on the forward()? Can anyone elaborate?
I see that nearly exactly what I'm experiencing was discussed last year regarding the behavior as seen through Struts. No resolution given.

I'll continue to watch this new thread for suggestions.
Again, with many thanks, Tim
