Description Andrew Harris 2002-08-13 11:23:31 UTC 
Text using UTF-8 encoding works fine in JSP Page but not when included from a 
text file or in a JSP Document. In all cases both charset and pageEncoding are 
set to "UTF-8". I have a small war file "utf8.war" which demonstrates the 
problems.

Comment 2 Reshat Sabiq 2002-10-12 13:51:11 UTC 
I have the same problem in 4.1.9, and 4.1.12, when including texts from 
properties.
The problem doesn't exist in 4.1.8.

A similar (the same?) problem arises if you have a JSP that has UTF8 (or any 
other non-ISO8859-1) encoded content, and that statically includes another JSP 
that has the page directive contentType/charset and pageEncoding attributes set 
for the app.

JSP1.jsp:
--- begin ---
<%@ include file=JSP2.jsp %>
UTF8 content here
--- end ---


JSP2.jsp
--- begin ---
<-- this should set the pageEncoding for JSP1 to UTF-8 but it doesnt -->
<% page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
--- end ---

Looks like bug 8982 is a duplicate of this.
Comment 6 Kin-Man Chung 2003-04-18 23:51:33 UTC 
The test cases Andrew Harris provided are incorrect, as he is using jsp:include
instead of <%@ include %>, and the files he included are .txt files, not .jsp
files.  Of course the page directive that contains the pageEncoding and
contentType are not used in a .txt file.

I tried the test of mmccourt@iona.com on 4.1.18 and 5, and both works as
expected.  You can also examine the .java files to see that the contentType for
response is set correctely.

If there are still problems, please provide new test cases.

Hi,

I have a similar problem with UTF-8.
I explain. I have a file (index.html) with a link to a servlet in it.
This file is the same on 2 servers with 1 with version 4.1.27 of Tomcat and 1
with 4.1.29. On the version 27 it work properly (URL is well encoded in UTF-8 as
I wanted and in version 29 the URL is not encoded in UTF-8. I'd like to add that
my servlet are the same...

Any ideas on this problem ?

thanks

Jean
