Do you set the charset in the page
setContentType("text/html;charset=8859-??") or the jsp equivalent ?
What charset do you use to write the page ? ( i.e. UTF or 8859-?? ) ?
There are few variables:
- Java default charset ( which is typically the same as the OS charset).
This is what jasper uses to read the page from disk. The page is converted
to UTF by the reader. ( you can override the charset used on each page,
don't remember the directive )
- output charset. This is specified in setContentType() or setCharEncoding
on the response, and is used to convert from UTF to the target charset.
