Hi all, I am trying to use locale-encoding-mapping in my web.xml to set the encoding of the HTTP-HEADER my tomcat 5.0.28 serves to utf-8. One option is certainly to set that in each jsp individually, but from reading e.g. slide 8 of http://www.javapassion.com/j2eeadvanced/Servlet2.4Enhancements_speakernoted. pdf , I get the impression that this should be doable for my entire web-app via the web.xml, i.e. its "locale-encoding-mapping" attributes. I tried this in many variants (details in http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32296), but with no success. Reading the mailing-list, it appears that others were not successful either: http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg106065.html http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg105678.html
Therefore my question - did anybody manage to have such attributes show an effect? One speculation from my part is that the defaults for the character encodings are present hard-coded at least twice in the code and even if web.xml gets processed, it gets overwritten afterwards again: - CharsetMapperDefault.properties has it and - LocaleToCharsetMap.java as well Couldn't this redundancy be a source of errors? Any hints would be highly appreciated!
