Hi, This might not be the cause of your problem, but it caught me out recently until I read the Javadoc for the setContentType method of ServletResponse: "If obtaining a PrintWriter, this method should be called first."
In otherwords, set your response type first, then get your PrintWriter, not the other way around. Mark -----Original Message----- From: aaz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 September 2003 17:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: content type charset Hi, We are using Tomcat 4.1.24 and jdk 1.4.1. And are having problems getting the HTTP headers returned from Tomcat to return the correct charset we need to display our utf-8 encoded database data. (right now our text has all the ? chars in it in place of the special chars) We need tomcat to start returning Content-Type: text/hml; charset=UTF-8 no matter what, tomcat keeps returning the http header Content-Type: text/hml; charset=ISO-8859-1 and calls to response.getCharacterEncoding() keeps returning ISO-8859-1 rather than UTF-8 All of our JSP pages have: <@page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> and <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> We are using Struts 1.1. and override ActionServlet.process and have the following line of code as well placed there: response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8"); In our catalina.bat we have JAVA_OPTS set = -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 What gives?
