I'm running Tomcat 3.2.1 on a Solaris box JDK 1.3
and using ECS1.4.1 for generating HTML
I can save CJKV characters to my back end Oracle db, retrieve them,
and display them if I'm using a servlet. Doesn't matter whether I use ECS
or string handling. The browser recognizes that I'm sending in UTF-8 encoding
and handles the characters just fine.
However when I use the same code to get the data from the DB and run it
through a JSP page I get gobbledygook.
A couple of other factors
1. Yes I'm setting the contentType to "text/html; charset=UTF-8" in the Page Directiive
2. Yes the browser is set to use the UTF-8 encoding.
2. Yes I realize that the jsps are compiled into a servlet but while looking at the jsp compiled java src file
it appears that the servlet uses a specialized class JspWriter to handle printing to the output stream.
3. ECS had a similar issue in previous versions. There are some tricky issues with how streams are handled
so that you don't run into implicit and screwy character encoding issues.
I would appreciate any feedback, I'm going to dig through the Tomcat source to see if I can find the root problem
and would hate to do that if there was an easy answer that I'm missing.
Thanks.
