Hi, *maybe* I'm experiencing a bug in Tomcat 5.0.25, but this is pure
assumption, please help me with this troublesome character encoding problem.
The test page below gets a request parameter and shows it in a textarea. The
goal is to test if special characters are translated wrongly .. (would actually
occur if encoding/decoding set isn't the same). The problem is in Tomcat 5.0.25
the character '�' is translated into é, in Tomcat 4.1.29 it stays the same.
Note: when providing the paramter as a get, it works.
========
test.jsp
========
<%@ page pageEncoding="utf-8" language="java" %>
<%
request.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");
String text = request.getParameter("text");
if (text == null) {
text = "";
}
%>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>test page</title>
</head>
<body>
<FORM name="test" method="POST">
<textarea name="text"><%=text%></textarea>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Thx in advance,
Quinten
