Hi Sean, You are right with the fact that the character set encoding does get appended to the Content-Type header when the Locale is set.
However, according to the API docs: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletResponse.html#setLocale(java.util.Locale) "........ It also sets the response's character encoding appropriately for the locale, if the character encoding has not been explicitly set using setContentType(java.lang.String) or setCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String), getWriter hasn't been called yet, and the response hasn't been committed yet. If the deployment descriptor contains a locale-encoding-mapping-list element, and that element provides a mapping for the given locale, that mapping is used. Otherwise, the mapping from locale to character encoding is container dependent............." So the above is expected behavior and not considered a bug, because Tomcat 5.5.23 complies with Servlet 2.4 specification which is defined in the JavaEE5 API. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's the code I just tried: package test81; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Locale; public class ContentTypeServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { processRequest(request, response); } public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { processRequest(request, response); } private void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { response.setContentType("application/xml"); response.setLocale(Locale.US); RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/p/test81/test81.jsp"); rd.forward(request,response); //response.sendRedirect("/p/test81/test81.jsp"); } } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <%@ page contentType="application/xml" language="java" %> <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> Get Content type: <%=response.getContentType()%> </body> </html> -Regards Rashmi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Output: − <html> − <head> <title/> </head> − <body> Get Content type: application/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1 </body> </html> -Regards Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
