This shouldn't really matter: the default locale for the JVM does not affect the encoding used for reading request URIs and bodies: the body is always decoded using the Content-Type request header (or ISO-8859-1 if none is provided) and the URI is always decoded using ISO-8859-1 unless you have overridden it using the appropriate <Connector> attribute. Reading files off the disk /is/ usually done using the default encoding. I haven't read the spec wrt JSP files, but I would hesitate to use any non-ASCII characters in these files - just like you should when saving .java files. Any non-ASCII characters can be expressed using \uxxxx syntax. Another poster mentioned using native2ascii with .properties files, which can be used for this purpose as well. > 3) All your html pages should have a declaration like : > <meta http-equiv="content-type" value="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> This is debatable :) > 10) If you want to really make sure, include in all your forms some > hidden input value, containing a known string with "accented" characters > (áàéèÜÖ and such). Since you mentioned that you had done this at some point, I've been thinking about a way to do this in an automated way, so you could sort of "turn it on" for your entire site. I think the only way to wave a magic wand and have this work is if you were already using some kind of custom <xyz:form> JSP tag library, and you were to subclass and replace the class that implements the <xyz:form> tag to add a hidden <input> parameter. A corresponding Filter would need to be written to check for the proper decoding of the GET parameter, but this could be used site-wide with no further invasiveness. (Of course, using <xyz:form> is probably relatively invasive unless you are already using a tag library such as Struts's). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkpY7OQACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PA63wCfbqpsFootgsI6Ok5KSndiYJsT 97cAoIJz97sXME1IZL90execVYaISf5B =mrSL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
