big5 problem with Tomcat on RedHat 7.1

[Aravind Naidu <ar...@eha.net>]

This may not be Tomcat's problem but I am hoping someone will point me in
the right direction.

I have 2 installations, one Tomcat 3.2.1 on RedHat 6.2 and the other Tomcat
3.2.3 on RedHat 7.1

I have a JSP file with the following tag
<META http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" charset="big5">

The RedHat 6.2 machine delivers Big5 characters properly, while the RedHat
7.1's Tomcat server does not.

Environment is that Tomcat is standalone and the JDK is IBM 1.3

Solved the problem. For others interested.
By default Tomcat 3.2.1 uses a 8859-1 and 3.2.3 ISO-8859-1 and just
explicitly setting the page directive in the JSP overcame the problem.

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=big5" %>
