The pageEncoding attribute is not used, when charset value is set.

           Summary: The pageEncoding attribute is not used, when charset
                    value is set.
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: petr.pisl@sun.com


When you have jsp page saved in encoding UTF-8:

<%@page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-2"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<html>
<head><title>JSP Page</title></head>
<body>
ěššěřčžřžřýýáýžýí
<br><hr>
</body>
</html>

then the jsp file is read with ISO-8859-2 encoding. There are wrong Czech
characters in the generated servlet.  But according to the JSP 2.0 specification
the file should be read with encoding from pageEncodintg (UTF-8 in my case) and
the responds has to be in charset value encoding ( ISO-8859-2).

We used the jasper-compiler.jar as jsp parser in NetBeans and we use the result
of the parsing for saving and loading jsp files into the editor, where the wrong
value of encoding causes problems.
