I am trying to fix axis2 to work on servlets 2.3 again. Step one,
(uncommited) is to bind the build to servletapi-2.3.jar, and not geronimo.
This shows up the sole problem as ServletBasedOutTransportInfo, which is
used in
CommonsHTTPTransportSender. invoke
omOutput.setSoap11(msgContext.isSOAP11());
transportInfo.setCharacterEncoding(omOutput.getCharSetEncoding());
transportInfo.setContentType(omOutput.getContentType());
As the javadocs say on setCharacterEncoding
"Calling setContentType(java.lang.String) with the String of text/html
and calling this method with the String of UTF-8 is equivalent with
calling setContentType with the String of text/html; charset=UTF-8."
Doing this makes CommonsHttpTransportSender as follows:
String encoding= omOutput.getContentType() +";
charset="+ omOutput.getCharSetEncoding();
transportInfo.setContentType(encoding);
Which will still work. Question is, what to do about
ServletBasedOutTransportInfo? Delete the setCharacterEncoding entirely,
or downgrade it to a no-op. Nobody is using the method once the change
above is applied.
