Hello, We've got a problem with Tomcat 4.1.24. Data is entered and stored in a MySQL database using a JSP/Struts based web application. This process works fine. The input is converted correctly to UTF-8 and to ISO-8859-1 when stored in MySQL.
However, when the data is retrieved again (which also works fine) and then stored in the outgoing HTML, something in the character conversion breaks. Some characters which are in the ASCII character range are not displayed correctly (a '?' character is shown instead). We've traced this problem to the JSP -> HTML conversion: the data we get back from MySQL is displayed correctly on stdout. Only when the JSP page is compiled and shown in a browser (mozilla, IE) do you see question mark characters in place of unicode characters (some characters which are not displayed correctly are: ź (z with an accent), Ų (U with a trailing c)) We've tried everything that came up on google searches. Setting the characterEncoding on the servlet request. Setting the Locale of the HttpSession. Putting a page tag in the JSP specifically stating the charset=ISO-8859-1. Even starting Tomcat with the option file.encoding=iso8859-1. None of this works. Does anyone here know what the problem could be?
