Hi,
the HTML code is generated by a servlet and the Character encoding has been
set with the follwing code-snippet:
res.setContentType("text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"); Even the Browser says it
is the encoding.
The result after testing various Codepages :
charset=utf-8 the only difference concering the Umlaut is that the browser
cannot transform them properly, shown with an "?" instead of the wanted
character.
charset=iso-8859-1 does not have the transforming problem, just that
transforming result is rather strange. (Ã = Å; Ã = â ; I hope this viewed
properly)
Therefore it seems that the problem is not related to the code, rather the
plattform-settings.
Any hints where I can change the character setting for the tomcat?
Bye Saffina
