Please note that the problem I am reporting does not pertain to UTF-8
encoding in URLs, but to UTF-8 encoded values above the ascii range in the
CONTENT of the HTML pages prepared by my servlet. The content of my pages
includes UTF-8 encode unicode values in the CJK range. For example, see
the following test page delivered by my servlet under the early, correctly
functioning version of Tomcat 3.1 (I recommend using IE to view this page;
if you have Chinese font support installed you will be able to see Chinese
characters in the lefthand frames. But even if the Chinese characters show
up as boxes for lack of the proper font, you can tell by looking at the
page source that the 3-byte UTF-8 encodings for the Chinese characters are
being delivered to the browser):
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/xdlib/servlet/archobj?DOCCHOICE=misc/sprintatest
2.xml
Under the newest release of Tomcat 3.1, the Chinese characters in question
all get translated to question marks by Tomcat before being delivered to
the browser.
The patches that I see cited at the address provided by Kim below all seem
to pertain to UTF-8 encoding in URLs, not in page content. Stefan van den
Oord and I are reporting problems with the handling of UTF-8 encoding in
the <body> of the HTML pages prepared by our servlets.
Thanks,
Rick Beaubien
