Subject: Re: Migrating to tomcat 6 gives formatted currency amounts problem

You are almost certainly having a problem with (default) character
encodings on your system, usual things to check are the encoding that
the JVM is using, for example what does:
echo $LANG
return (usually controlled by what's defined in /etc/sysconfig/i18n -
although I'm not familiar with Ubuntu systems).
echo $LANG gives me this:
en_US.UTF-8
The most likely thing is that the tomcat servlet is effectively
generating content in UTF-8, and then trying to return this character to
the end client, via a PrintWriter, in ISO1 where the currency symbol in
use is not supported by ISO1, hence the '?'. Alternatively tomcat is
returning either ISO1 or UTF-8 characters but not declaring them as such
in its response headers, leaving the browser confused and its choosing
the wrong "default". Be useful to know what headers tomcat is returning
really.
But then, it would be the same issue for tomcat 5.5, no ? And there it
doesn't go wrong...
Like stated earlier: I rather think it has something to do with the Tomcat
6
configuration, because all else is equal: same server with same java /
same
webapp / same client(FF4) / .. only in Tomcat 5.5 it does work, and in
Tomcat 6 it doesn't.
Thanks for your reply, Mark!

Will, I cant see how TC can be influencing it....
You write a char (the pound) to an output stream it appears differently in
browser...
TC is just sendign what it gets...
Its got to be this...
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.UK)
and that is Java... so I conclude... TC 6 is not on the same JDK/JRE as TC 5
You JAVA has changed... must be..
That stuff that you like is LOCALE stuff... and that stuff can all be
configured from outside Java...
You are choosing a Locale... but if the font.property files in JRE/LIB
are different... its probably picking a wide super new Sun font... which in
swing will make no diffs... but
where the old JRE was using the something a browser gets... the new GB_SUPER
font with english flags and the national anthem... confuses current
browsers.
.... I think... you looking in the wrong place...
Convert it to bytes... and print that... you will see it... I think
Then just to confince yourself that TC is not doing a weird Arabic header...
get the header plugin for FireFox... and have a look...
I doubt they diffs...
Have more fun...
