jasper2 character translation issue

           Summary: jasper2 character translation issue
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: joe.bissen@thieletech.com


The following bug occurs when precompiling jsp's following the instructions in
the Tomcat 5 documenation.

For the following line in the jsp, 

<a href="<c:out value="${item.feed.link}"/>"><c:out
value="${item.feed.title}"/></a> - <a href="<c:out
value="${item.link}"/>"><c:out value="${item.title}"/></a>

a source file is generated with the following :
 
.....
out.write("</a> Â? <a href=\"");
.....

instead of 
......
out.write("</a> Â? <a href=\"");
......

I tested other characters that the dash (colons and hyphens) and jasper2
generates correct HTML, its just that it mistranslates the dash for some reason.

The problem does not occur if you allow Tomcat to compile pages on the fly while
the application is running.  Also, I never saw this issue with versions of
Tomcat 5 less than 5.0.25.
