How can we stop this from happening? The jsp page has the contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" directive and the appropriate meta tag. I've tried using the filter from the tomcat archive to set the character encoding on the request but then all the special characters get dumped! I'm using tomcat 4.0.1 Greetings, Philippe. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
