Take a look at this link
http://www.anassina.com/struts/i18n/i18n.html

It has a section dealing with WS4 without using filter

I don't know websphere, but if it conforms to the servlet specs v2.3 then it
is.

No. It is for the user submitted data to convert into the proper encoding.

If I am not mistaken, under Servlet 2.3 spec, you can call the
setCharacterEncoding() method on the request and set it to a desired
encoding before reading any parameters from the request. The container is
responsible for providing you with request parameters in the encoding your
specified from this point on. WAS 4.0 does not support the J2EE 1.3 spec (it
supports 1.2.1). You will need WAS 5.0 for this to work. It is working in
Tomcat because the version of Tomcat you have supports J2EE 1.3.

I think I have to study this in more detail - it still isn't quite clear for
me. 
What is this SetCharacterEncoding filter doing? Is it only working with
Tomcat? (We use WebSphere 4)

I also have unicode characters from the DB which have to be displayed
correctly. Is this filter good for that?

No, as far as you are using the SetCharacterEncoding filter coming with the 
example application of Tomcat.

I use iso-8859-2 if I know that each user input is covered in it. However I 
need to use the abovementioned filter in this case too.

Hth,

Nothing is wrong with utf-8. Maybe it would be the best to use it, even
though everything is much more complex while handling stuff like the html
form entries, which have to be converted.

The main reason is that our customer has problems with its application
server configuration when I deliver JSPs in utf-8. I don't know what kind of
problems, because it is not possible for me to check the configuration - it
is a high security area where they run their servers, and there are reasons
why I'm not allowed to check it. I just deliver and get the bug reports...
So I think I better use the ISO-8859-1 character set with html characters
like "&". It may be stupid, but it eases a lot.

Bernhard
