"JSP.4 Internationalization Issues" would seem to be a blinding

Tomcat 3 is very different from 4 & 5. In particular, internationalization
isn't very well supported in JSP 1.1/Servlet 2.2. Tomcat 3.3.x has some
specialized extensions to work around this, but at the end of the day it's
an outdated spec problem.

For 1.2, the errata are also relevant. See

I didn't find anything obvious in that section. It says:
"A JSP page uses a character encoding. The encoding can be described
explicitly using the pageEncoding attribute of the page directive. The
character encoding defaults to the encoding indicated in the contentType
attribute of the page directive if it is given, or to ISO-8859-1 otherwise."
Which is more or less what T P already had got down in the question.
So it seems there were something else going on, unless I miss something.
Is Tomcat 3, 4 and 5 very different in the settings that need to be done?
I still use 3 and 4.
Some links list searchers may appreciate:
The JSP 1.1, 1.2 (the one I needed myself) and 2.0 specifications are
downloadable (after reg) from Sun here:

(Scroll down to the specs)
and JSP documentation is here:

While not JSP specific, I've found this useful link page of Java
Internationalization oriented writings as well:
