RE: Outcome of problem with UTF-8 vs ISO-8859-1

I solved the problem by upgrading to Tomcat 4.1.17 and it allowed me to get
everything running in ISO-8859-1 as all I needed was French.  I then
switched Eclipse into ISO-8859-1 editing mode and everything works fine now.

Hi there,

my tip:

subclass the ApplicationServlet
and insert this method

    protected void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
        throws IOException, ServletException
    {
        request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        super.doService(request, response);
    }

AG> I have managed to figure out how to do UTF-8 for everyting except input

conversion,

AG> ISO-8859-1 mode, create an HTML, put in an é, save it and reload it, you
AG> great screwed up text.  Switch into UTF-8 mode, delete the garbage and

AG> What I'm wondering is:  Does anyone know how to get the result of input

to
AG> ISO-8859-1 and have it return proper values, but then the dynamic data
will

edit
