Jetty International Character Support

nymo Sep 9, 2003 2:01 PM

Hi,

"Accordingly, Jetty 4.1 has reverted to a default encoding of ISO-8859-1." I have a site that request a .jsp page on my Jetty Webserver (the Jetty that is bundled with JBoss). The international characters I receive from them does not look very nice, I think they have coded it with UTF-8. For all other characters things are looking good.

Is there a way to change Jettys default encoding?
I read something about "-DISO_8859_1=UTF-8", and that it, in some way is possible to change the default encoding.

Anyone with good tips on this? I have read the info at mortbay, and general info about UTF-8, but that did not solve my problems. It seems that I must change the encoding in some way.

You set the encoding in the content type for each page. In a JSP, it needs to be the first action before any HTML output is generated, including any whitespace.

e.g.
request.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF8");
