Problem displaying pages in UTF-8

tomasg Jul 1, 2006 8:09 AM

Hi (again),

Using plain JSP I can get the browser to use UTF-8 encoding using:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>

Using xhtml however that does not work, so the browser uses ISO-8859-1 encoding. It is the HTTP header that is the problem, since both Firefox and Mozilla ignores the meta-tags and goes for the HTTP header, which is ISO by default.
I found no way to set the default HTTP encoding header in JBoss/Tomcat either.

Is there anything similar to "<%@ page..." that can be used in xhtml to force tomcat to set the desired content encoding header?

Cheers,
Tomas

With newer versions of facelets, it will use the <?xml encoding in your page otherwise it will default to UTF-8

I have the <?xml encoding set to UTF-8. Which are these newer versions of facelets and do you know when they will be released?
(I am using the jars that comes with Seam 1.0.1)

The facelets jar that shipped with 1.0.1 was kinda old.

I've already upgraded it in CVS.

Ah great. Looking forward to see it.
Seam is a pleasure to work with (apart from that small issue that kept me busy a couple of hours :-). Thank you Gavin!

You can always just go and download the latest facelets jar from the facelets site ;-)
