Hello! I've tried my luck with Tomcat 5.5 and found that it behaves different than 5.0.27 does as regards character encoding. Somehow the conversion from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 doesn't work as it should. This may well be due to a misconfiguration. See below for the JSP document and the two different output pages generated. It looks as if Tomcat 5.5 applies the ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 conversion twice. I'm editing the JSP document with Eclipse 3.1M1 and the text file encoding is set to ISO-8859-1.
I'm still pretty new to servlets, JSP, and Tomcat, so I might be overlooking something rather obvious.
