RE: ?lgi:RE: Character Encoding Problem

[Tõnu Põld <To...@andmevara.ee>]

Just a thought about the <jsp:include... problem:
try to place the "<%@page contentType=" in each file you include?


When reading bytes from file with FileReader the default character encoding
is used.
I think you must specify your own encoding when reading the file.

The suns javadoc says about FileReader class:
"Convenience class for reading character files. The constructors of this
class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer
size are appropriate. To specify these values yourself, construct an
InputStreamReader on a FileInputStream. "
