<% out.print(request.getAttribute("Description")); %>


it should print me hell(“two”)

but its printing

hell(?two?)

pls sort my problem out

Nothing to do with JSP, per se. It's a browser issue. You just need to be sure that the web page is using an encoding that supports those "curly quotes".

The good news: Even though this is a browser issue, you *CAN* use JSP to change the page encoding, but you'll need to figure out what the right encoding is, first.

What character encoding are you currently using? Do you have either
<%@page contentType="text/xml; charset=UTF-8"%>
or
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
in your page? Or some other charset/characterEncoding???

Try UTF-8, if you aren't using it already, and see if that works with your browser.

Thanks for the reply,
when i use
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" language="java"%>

i am getting the output correctly
but i am passing the string hell(“two”) in the query string
but my query string is taking hell(â#128;#156;twoâ#128;)

what may be the solution for this

Raj..

mistake in my last reply
the query string is taking correctly
but in my java class
when i use this way
String s = request.getParameter(...);
my s conatins
â??twoâ??

how to handle this issue

Don't know what to tell you. A very similar JSP page works just fine, for me. Yes, using UTF-8.

hi,

i mean to say that when displaying to user i can see it correctly ,but

For translation of inputs coming back from the browser i am facing the problem .

hi
i have used this article for solving the problem but i am still facing the same issue

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Tomcat/UTF-8

i have configured everything as mentioned in the article
can you suggest what might be the issue

1) configured web.xml
2) i have set the jsp header
3) written the filter class

regards
raj
