Where did my Unicode go in 4.1.17?
I think I need the help of outside eyes, because I must be not seeing the forest for the trees. Under Tomcat 4.0.6 I was serving out XML which had Unicode code points for Arabic characters and in all decent browsers (Mozilla, Phoenix, Chimera, etc.) the Arabic displayed beautifully. Yesterday we updated to Tomcat 4.1.17: none of the data files changed, none of the XSL files changed, none of our server settings changed. Under the new Tomcat everything seemed to be as before except ... the beautiful Arabic has gone and in its place is that gobbledegook of squares, at-signs, etc. that browsers give when they don't know what else to do. When I use Mozilla to look at the XML file that the JSP is importing I can see that the Unicode is definitely there and displays fine, so the problem must be occurring after Tomcat gets hold of it. After reading Bill Barker's response to someone else's query yesterday I specifically added charset=UTF-8 to the %@ page contentType=text/xml % that I previously had, but still no Arabic. I couldn't find anything in the RELEASE-NOTES-4.1.txt that looked relevant. Has something changed between 4.0.6 and 4.1.17 that would explain my vanished Arabic?

I agree. As hard as it is to restrain from responding to flamebait and as tempting as it is to have the last word, I think this thread needs to die now. Paul Caton. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Not getting CSS with XML
Dave, Thanks for the reply, but no, I'm sure that's not the problem. Bitter experience has taught us to delete all the work/ files and recompile everything when testing changes, so I'm certain that the compiled JSP file is always up to date with the XML file.

Charlie, A colleague suggested I try adding this to the JSP: response.setContentType(text/html;charset=UTF-8) but it made no difference. Is there another way you know of I could try?

Okay, I put the Java expression first so that now the JSP file looks like this: %= response.setContentType(text/html;charset=UTF-8) %%@ include file=mary.xml % After I recompiled and tried to access the page I got this error message: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPNote: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated.

RE: Not getting CSS with XML
Ah ha! Thanks, Julius - that got rid of the server error. But I'm still back with the lack of CSS. The logs aren't helping either, except negatively. That is, when I access mary2.jsp (which simply includes mary.html)the localhost_access_log shows: Get /acsam/mary2.jsp HTTP 1.1 200 358 Get /acsam/mary2.css HTTP 1.1 200 96 But when I access mary.jsp (which simply includes mary.xml) the log just shows: Get /acsam/mary.jsp HTTP 1.1 200 182 It looks like there's something inside ?Jasper/?Catalina which doesn't know what to do with the ?xml-stylesheet? tag when it gets it via a compiled JSP. I just wish I knew that for sure, and then I could give up trying to use the XML/CSS/JSP combination (although it would be really, really convenient for our project if that combination worked). If anyone else has got this combination to work, please let me know how. Meanwhile, my thanks to people who have been trying to help.

You used %= % in your jsp, which needs an Object or a primitive inbewteen those brackets. Your jsp is then going to call toString() on that Object (or just blithely print the primitive) and make that part of your webpage. Since response.setContentType() doesn't return anything, there is no Object to call toString() on, or no primitive to blithely print! Try % % instead. Omit the equals sign. Don't forget to put a semicolon at the end. yours, Julius Davies, Programmer, CUCBC Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Ph: 604.730.6385 Code inside %= % should never end with a semicolon.

Not getting CSS with XML
I'd be very grateful for any advice regarding a CSS problem that is
puzzling me.
Our setup is Tomcat 4.0.6-LE on a Sun running Solaris 8.
We have a webapp with the href base set as /acsam.
In the acsam webapp directory we have this very simple test CSS
stylesheet (mary.css):
paragraph {
display: block;
border: solid red;
line-height: 2
}
.green {color: green}
We also have a simple html file (mary.html):
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN SYSTEM
http://www.w3.o
rg/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
html
head
titleCSS Test/title
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=/acsam/mary.css/
/head
body
div
p class=greenMary had a little lamb./p
/div
/body
/html
If we access this file directly (ie. [path]/acsam/mary.html) it displays
correctly - the text is green as dictated by the mary.css stylesheet.
Similarly, if we access mary.html by using an include statement in a
JSP, like this (mary2.jsp):
%@ include file=mary.html %
it displays correctly as before.
Now to the XML. We have a simple XML file (mary.xml):
?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?
?xml-stylesheet type=text/css href=/acsam/mary.css?
document
paragraph
Mary had a little lamb.
/paragraph
/document
If we access this file directly (ie. [path]/acsam/mary.xml) it displays
correctly, with a red border around the paragraph, as dictated by the
mary.css stylesheet. However (here's the puzzling part), when we try to
access mary.xml with a very simple JSP file like this (mary.jsp):
%@ include file=mary.xml %
it does NOT display correctly. For some reason the ?xml-stylesheet?
link is not getting the CSS, even though it does get it when we access
the XML file directly. As you can see, the path to the CSS file is the
same in both mary.html and mary.xml.
Can anyone explain why accessing the XML via the JSP doesn't get us the
CSS styles?
Thanks,
Paul.
