First things first, I'm using Tomcat 5.5.1. I'm moving some code from a JSP document to tag files. All of the files are in XML format. The head of one of my tag files looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <jsp:root version="2.0" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page";> <jsp:directive.tag pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" /> <jsp:directive.tag body-content="empty"/> I'm precompiling the file with this ant target <target name="jspc" depends="prepare"> <mkdir dir="${build.home}/WEB-INF/src"/> <jasper2 javaencoding="UTF-8" validateXml="false" compile="false" uriroot="${build.home}" webXmlFragment="${build.home}/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml" addwebxmlmappings="true" outputDir="${build.home}/WEB-INF/src" /> </target> So far, all is working. Problems start, when the file contains characters or constants such as '�' and ' '. These result in errors like this An error occurred at line: 47 in the jsp file: /WEB-INF/tags/veranstaltung.tagx Generated servlet error: Invalid character constant The tag file is indeed encoded as ISO-8859-1. Alternatively, I tried UTF-8, with the declarations changed, too. The result was the same. And now for the weird part: This doesn't compile <span>�</span> This either <span>� </span> But this does <span>� </span> And so does this <span>� </span> So, there have to be 3 whitespace characters after the umlaut to make it pass through jasper. =:-O Michael -- Michael Schuerig Those people who smile a lot mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Watch the eyes http://www.schuerig.de/michael/ --Ani DiFranco, Outta Me, Onto You --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
