How to set Character Encoding correctly?

spec_third Jul 13, 2006 12:06 AM

Hi,anybody help me

I write two jsp files. Content as following:
a.jsp
------------------------------------------------

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<html>
 <HEAD>
 <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
 </HEAD>
 <body>
 <script language="javascript">
 function _goto(){
 location.href=encodeURI("b.jsp?names=??");
 }
 </script>
 </body>
</html>

b.jsp
------------------------------------------------------------------

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<html>
 <HEAD>
 <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
 </HEAD>
 <body>
 <%
 request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
 String names = request.getParameter("names");
 System.out.println("Names:"+names);
 %>
 </body>
</html>

following is configuration:
jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml

<Service name="jboss.web" className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.StandardService">
 <Connector useBodyEncodingForURI="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

Console print:
Names:????????????

While I set 'useBodyEncodingForURI' to false,Console print is OK:
Names:??

why? what is real meaning of 'useBodyEncodingForURI=true'.

your setting i think is right.

but location.href=encodeURI("b.jsp?names=??");

why you need to encode. i think:

location.href="b.jsp?names=??";

can be OK.
