Hello,

Please, I am desperated because everything I do about it doesn´t work. Locally I get, but not on the web (linux/cpanel).

What I would like is to set everything used on JSP to UTF-8.

I tried server.xml:

URIEncoding="utf-8"

... web.xml:

<init-param>
<param-name>javaEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>

...on java start up:

-Dfile.encoding=UTF8

...inside the own jsp:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
%>

...but nothing works. The JSP insists in working on reading request.getParameter() just if was encoded with ISO-8859-1.

Please, give me some light. Thanks.

Thanks.

Your JSP container is defaulting to ISO-8859 but your parameters are UTF-8 encoded.

You can work around your container with this code:
String value = new String(getParameter("param").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");

If you are using Tomcat, add the Connector attribute in server.xml, URIEncoding="UTF-8", otherwise Tomcat will assume ISO-8859 encoding to your parameters.

HTH,
Eugenio
