Hi, I think I have a similar problem. I'm just starting to learn JBoss and J2EE. I just inherited a huge Web project running on JBoss. Part of this inheritance is the truckload of bugs, of course. My problem is: The server always serves up pages with the charset set to "Shift_JIS", even if the JSP pages explicitly states that the pages should have UTF-8 charset and encoding. Hence, once the pages are served, if you do a view-source, you'll see all the JSP code stating UTF-8 as the charset+encoding. However, if you submit a form, the parameters in the URI are all encoded in SJIS, thereby causing never-ending probelms on the server side. What do I need to do to make the pages served as UTF-8? Are there any configuration settings I need to override? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3972494#...
