Japanese Characters in JSP's
Hi All,
I'm having a bit of trouble with getting JSP's with Japanese characters
within them. I'm working with a Windows XP system with JDK 1.4.2 and Tomcat
4.1.24. The problem seems persistent, though, on RH Linux with JDK 1.4.1_03
as well. I have no problem with Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, and other
non-Latin-1 character sets, just Japanese (so far).
More confusing, my test file is a very simple HTML document that Tomcat
services properly when I'm simply calling it as an HTML file, such as:
http://localhost:8080/testfile.html
All I do is rename it to testfile.jsp, and it comes out all garbled. I've
done the same test with a myriad of HTML files with various character sets
including cp1251, iso8859-5, etc. Everything works fine except for
Japanese -- I believe my file uses Shift_JIS. I don't have test files for
other multi-byte character sets so I've no idea if it's exclusive to
Japanese or if, for example, Chinese would not work either.
I've also tried adding response.setLocale (new java.util.Locale ("ja")) to
the top of the page; it made no difference. I've also tried reading
everything I could find, and I'm empty handed. This seems like it shouldn't
be quite as difficult as it is.
TIA!
-Fred

I don't know why cp1251 et. al. work (probably they are single-byte
encodings, and shift_jis is multi-byte).
However, try adding:
<%@page contentType="text/html; charset=shift_jis" %> to your page. This
will tell Tomcat that the Writer should use "shift_jis" as it's encoding.
Since you can see the page as a ".html" file, you shouldn't need <%@page
pageEncoding="shift_jis" %>, but if you ever save the file as "shift_jis",
then you will need this directive as well.

Hi Fred,
Then you must try the -encoding option of java.exe in configuration file of
tomcat.
Also you can try setting the encoding type to ISO 8859 1.

Punam

Hi Fred,
In the html header u will have to set the char set as SHIFT JIS. And in the
browser SHIFT JIS should be set.

Hi Fred,
In the html header u will have to set the char set as SHIFT JIS. And in the
browser SHIFT JIS should be set.
