Dear Allistair, (et.al)
Many many many thanks for ALL your help. The problem has "disapeared"! "oh
joy, oh rapture unforseen"
The problem seemed to disapear when I inserted a filter-mapping where
servlets are mapped, for the incoming request filter which converts all
request objects to utf-8 for the application, which was missing from my
web.xml. Then I set the various page-encoding , etc. (see below)
//////////////////////////////////////////v/////////////////////////////////
/////////v//////////////////////////////////////////v
<%@ page language="java"%>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;UTF-8"%>
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<title>encoding data test.</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#F3F3F3">
<br><br><br>
<%
String reqURL = "/InGeoWebEntryTool/servlet/EncodingValidationServlet";
String strEncodeTest="";
if (request.getParameter("text")!=null &&
!request.getParameter("text").equalsIgnoreCase("")){
strEncodeTest = request.getParameter("text");
}
%>
<FORM action="<%=reqURL%>" accept-charset='UTF-8' method="post">
<input type="text" name="encodeTest" value="<%=strEncodeTest%>" size="98">
<input type="submit" value="post to server" style="WIDTH: 120px">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>

Now i have this working using utf-8. I am sure this will now work for all
encodings, but I think we shall stick with utf-8.
regards,
Ben

Betreff: RE: Setting JVM ==> file.encoding = Cp1252
hi ben,
the jvm always operates with utf. Data transferred into or out of the jvm
is in a format matching the file.encoding property.
i don't understand why you wish to change the file.encoding. the jvm file
encoding should really match your file system, that's why on windows it is
Cp1252 and on linux iso-8859-15.
the file.encoding will not affect the way your request encoding or database
encoding aligns.
why don't you email me your web.xml, your jsp, your servlet, your JNDI or
database connectivity config and I will take a look.
