I'm running into a strange issue.
I have certain JSPs with UTF-8 encoded characters in them (polish characters, to be exact). My Ant build.xml precompiles the JSPs using Jasper and then packages the application into a WAR for deployment.
When I develop locally with Tomcat 5.0.18, I deploy without packaging into a WAR first. However, to deploy remotely, I create a WAR, then deploy from that.
Locally, the JSPs appear just as they should. After being packaged into a WAR (even if I deploy it locally to the exact same instance of Tomcat 5.0.18), the UTF-8 characters are garbaged up. The garbaging appears the same as it does when I override the page-provided UTF-8 encoding (in the browser) and manually set the encoding to ISO-8859-1.
What's going on here?! By the time that the JSPs are added to the WAR, they're binary .class files, since they are precompiled! Text encodings shouldn't make a bit of difference at that point, should they?!?
The JSPs loaded still tell the browser that the encoding is UTF-8 ... and UTF-8 characters in the .properties files (passed through native2ascii) are properly displayed.
It seems to me that something very strange is going on ... moreover, this is going to really throw a wrench in our project if we can't get to the bottom of it!
Respectfully, Brice Ruth
