Hi Ben, You appear to be right that this euro encoding is a right bastard. I have no idea how I have it working on our production server now.
I have created a mini-webapp for anyone on this list who cares to have a go at this; www.adcworks.com/encode.zip Unzip this into an encode folder in your tomcat webapps. Source is included in WEB-INF. Request the url http://yourserver/encode/encode.jsp 5 euro symbols should be in the text field. submit this and it goes to a servlet that encodes the request as Cp1252 which includes euro. it then sends the string down the response stream as Cp1252 and it gets mashed up. I have tried setting all encoding to utf-8 also but no go. I have to admit I am stumped now Anyone..? Anyone..? Bueller..?
