Unicode handling broken

           Summary: Unicode handling broken
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Carole_Mah@brown.edu


Hi,

I've never filed a bug before so forgive me if I do this wrong -- email me with
any questions. I posted to tomcat-user and some people on the list told me to
file a bug.

I've been using Tomcat 4.0.6 for some time now, because neither 4.1.12 nor
4.1.18 handled my Unicode correctly.

When 4.1.18 came out, my co-worker Paul Caton posted to tomcat-user asking for
help on this issue. I had supposed by now the issue would have been solved, so I
cheerily and with much anticipation installed 4.1.24.

However, the unicode handling is still bad in 4.1.24, so we are sticking with
4.0.6.  We're wondering if this issue is going to be addressed in future releases.

I am willing to send the actual URLs of the tomcat servers on which the test
documents reside to any developer who wants them, but I'd rather not post those
URLs to the public at large. I can also send any jsp code, xsl stylesheets,
Xinclude stuff, etc.

In lieu of that here, I'll just give the URLs of two comparative screenshots to
show the differences in the Unicode handling:

bad: http://dev.stg.brown.edu/screenshots/acsam-4.1.24.jpg
good: http://dev.stg.brown.edu/screenshots/acsam-4.0.6.jpg

Thank you very much,

-carole
