Hi There, 

  can't we just go with the UTF-8 by default (pages, forms etc.) and
specify only changes to this default mapping (global or local or
even on activate or using the actual writer.

Often you end up using UTF-8 by default and you are messing with
filter and forms and stuff. This is indeed anoying (Howard gets
my vote on this one).
 
@Thiago
I do not get the point about the database and output-streams
are non-UTF-8. As Howard said everything becomes a Java-String
And is indeed encoded using UTF already. The only chance I know
about this is becomes an issue if one 'accidently' does not 
convert the database strings to UTF correctly and 'accidently'
reconvert these strings back to the same character-set
(should blow up for certain high byte values).

So I guess that converting something to strings should always be
Correct.

If I missed the point please correct me.


Cheers,

Martin (Kersten)

What about setting a charset for every page, but having the option of what  
this charset is?
