Language specific characters are not appearing on jsps

Hi

Using TS 6.5 SP1 Win 2003 .

When we enter Language specific ch in textbox or textarea they appear as garbage in jsps .

But if we enter the same language specific characters in VFE , they appear fine in jsps.

One thing more , i just creating the fragment jsps ie., not the main jsps .

I have static main jsp which includes these fragment jsps.

I have mentioned charset as UTF - 8 in main jsp .

Could anyone let me know the reason .

code for fragment jsp is like

[HTML]

[/HTML]

I believe I've dealt with this problem myself.

Here is what I did:

  



<iw_perl>



use HTML::Entities;



iwpt_output("<h1>" . HTML::Entities::encode(iwpt_dcr_value("dcr.page.metadata.dc.title_french") . "</h1>");



</iw_perl>

Besides what GriffTheDog provided (which is probably a good thing to do regardless) - I seem to recall that there are different JSP engines (I think it was something like x.2 and x.3, but it's been a while) and that the older version did not use UTF-8 encoding on includes while the newer version did (at the time, my customer was trying to use TS's Tomcat server for previewing - and this was yet-another-reason not to do that).

So you might want to verify what version of JSP your server provides.
