[jboss-user] [Tomcat, HTTPD, Servlets & JSP] - How to set Character Encoding correctly?

Thu Jul 13 00:06:25 EDT 2006

Hi,anybody help me

I write two jsp files. Content as following:
a.jsp
------------------------------------------------

  | <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
  | <html>
  |     <HEAD>	
  | 		<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> 
  |     </HEAD>
  |     <body>
  |         <script language="javascript">
  |             function _goto(){
  |                  location.href=encodeURI("b.jsp?names=??");
  |             }
  |         </script>
  |     </body>  
  | </html>

b.jsp
------------------------------------------------------------------

  | <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
  | <html>
  |     <HEAD>	
  | 		<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> 
  |     </HEAD>
  |     <body>
  |         <%
  |            request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
  |            String names = request.getParameter("names");
  |            System.out.println("Names:"+names);
  |         %>
  |     </body>  
  | </html>

following is configuration:
jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml

  | <Service name="jboss.web" className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.StandardService">		
  | 		<Connector  useBodyEncodingForURI="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
  | 

Console print:
Names:????????????

While I set 'useBodyEncodingForURI' to false,Console print is OK:
Names:??

why? what is real meaning of 'useBodyEncodingForURI=true'.
