> Hi,
> I have a requirement where in I need to use UTF8 encoding for my web app 
since 
> it needs to support chinese characters. In another words, form labels, 
button 
> labels and entire site content needs to be in chinese. I am using the below 
> environment for my project.
> Env:
> Tomcat - v5.0.28
> J2SDK  - v1.4.2
> OS     - Windows XP / Linux 2.1AS/i386
> I am using TilesRequestProcessor. I tried different ways of changing charset 
> to UTF8 but all my efforts went futile. Is this some kind of bug?
> I tried in the following different ways but the output is same for all my 
> attempts :( The character encoding is defaulting to "ISO-8859-1"
> Try 1: Used the following meta tag in my Template.jsp
> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
> Try 2: Configure it at Tomcat's connector level in server.xml as below
> <Connector port="8080"
>                maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"

>                disableUploadTimeout="true" 
>                URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
> Try 3: Configre it at Controller class level in struts-config.xml as below
> <controller
>     processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor"
>     contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
> Try 4: Configure it at your form level as below
> <html:form method="POST" action="encoding" enctype="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
> Neither of the above 4 attemps produced fruitful results.

Please ignore only the interesting observation section as it is happening only 
on IE6.0 browser. On other browsers like Mozilla Firefox it is still 
defaulting to "ISO-8859-1". Apologies for going off-track.

Would appreciate if someone can guide me to a fix for this.

Thanks
- Kishore
