           Summary: UTF8 encoding doesn't work in Tomcat-5.0.28
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.28
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chitrala@rediffmail.com


Hi,

I see some issue in the Tomcat-5.0.28 installables. Unicode(UTF8) is not 
working consistently in this version: I used the following link to download 
installables

http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.0.28/bin/

I used the following meta tag to enable UTF8 in my web app.

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

Scenario 1:

I installed Tomcat on Windows-XP using the executable jakarta-tomcat-
5.0.28.exe. When I access the web app it is working perfectly. I am able to 
see chinese fonts as expected.

Scenario 2:

I installed Tomcat on Windows-XP by extracting jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.zip. Now, 
when I access the web app UTF8 encoding is not working and the chinese fonts 
are not getting displayed as expected.

Scenario 3:

I installed Tomcat on Red Hat Linux 2.1AS/i386 Server by extracing jakarta-
tomcat-5.0.28.tar.gz. Now, in this scenario also UTF8 encoding is not working 
and the chinese fonts are not getting displayed as expected.

Can I know as why application behaviour is changing based on how I am 
installing Tomcat?

Is there any fix available for this? Please let me know.

Thanks n Advance
- Kishore
