I have a jsp say hello.jsp. Now there are 2 use cases

1. the request is redirected to hello.jsp through mainserverlet and in this case, it renders the "editable" text in chinese properly.

2. The second case is when i change the drop down menu on hello.jsp, it "resubmits" the request to itself, instead of mainservlet and in this case the text in chinese is not being displayed properly.

   • The charset=UTF-8 encoding has been set in HTML tag of the jsp.
   • I have tried to see how form is being submitted through javascript and the chinese text remains the same just before "submit". I don't know what happens that it is not being rendered after this.

Any pointers or suggestions?

Have you tried page tag?

Sample:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

Obs: You need to put this on top of every page you use.

PS: If you are thinking you can add above line in your header.jsp file and then include header file in your required file like this:

<jsp:include page="/resources/header.jsp" /> 

It won't work unless you add that line in every page.
