not impacted as far  as i know.

Everything is just utf instead of a charset like ISO-8859-1 (called western most of the times i believe)
pages could be a bit larger if there are 2 byte chars in it.

I think all browsers are supporting utf-8 just fine so that is not a problem

With utf-8 all of the conversion problems i know of like the Euro sign (from java->browser or browser->java) are gone
So in the end utf-8 is the way to go. Much better then anything else.

If we're somehow breaking the servlet standard we should either look for an alternative approach or document it. At the very least, we should investigate the expected impact of changing the default charset. How will developers be impacted?

yes i know that but we now explicitly are saying UTF-8 by default.
if that is what we want. Then it is fine by me. But now all output and input (form submits) will be in utf-8 if a user doesn't change the default encoding of the application settings.

I don't mind because i think utf-8 is much better then all those other char conversions and is talking much better to java. But it is not the default what the browser and the servlet spec are using.

yes, but we explicitly set the charset on the response header, always
Thus the browser does not need to guess.

Juergen (and others)

We now have an output encoding in the ApplicationSettings that is great
but it defaults to UTF-8. So now all the pages are in utf-8 but the
servlet spec
says that default iso-8859-1 is the default charset.

Should we stick with UTF-8? It is better anyway and no charset
conversion needs to be done
(at least not as much i think)
