I had the same problem with Tapestry 3.02 and I think it is still in 4.0.
Somehow
Tapestry doesnt' set up content type properly. Looking at html source from
Tapestry,
the <meta> for content type is not the first <meta> but the second <meta> in
the <header>.
I have read somewhere, that content type <meta> must be the first in
<header> otherwise it is ignore.
I came with workaround. I use web-app <filter> and in that I force utf-8:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse
servletResponse,
FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException {
try {
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest)
servletRequest;
servletRequest.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
servletResponse.setContentType( "text/html; charset=UTF-8" );
It is ugly but it works.
