Greek (and other) encodings

[Simon Juden <Si...@ProQuestAlison.com>]

Hi,

I've got a problem with Greek (and Polish) characters and Tomcat.  I've
reduced the problem to a trivial JSP (attached), which works just fine under
Tomcat 3.2.1 but not 3.2.4 or 3.3.1 - what happens in these latter two cases
is that the browser renders using a "standard" encoding ("Western European
(ISO)"), not the encoding in the Content-type META tag (Greek - Windoze
1253).  Right-clicking in the browser and changing the encoding to Greek
makes the page appear correctly.  This happens in Explorer 6.0 and Netscape
6.2.3, and whether tomcat is running on W2K or Red Hat 6.2 or Red Hat 7.3.
It happens whether you connect direct to tomcat or via Apache 1.3.12 or
1.3.26, using mod_jk.  It happens whether your browser is on W2K or Red Hat
7.3.

I've looked through the FAQ and bug archives and there are references to
some encoding/wide char bugs being fixed in 3.3.* but few details and
nothing that help in the archives of this or similar lists.  I've tried
JGuru and others as well.

Upgrading to 4.* is not possible (yet - my client plans to do this in 4-5
months).  Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Many thanks in advance

S
