Error-page directive in web.xml doesn't render UTF8 correctly

Question

I have a web.xml application with the following entry:

<error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/system_files/error/p_notfound.jsp</location>
</error-page>

However, when this page is displayed, Japanese characters are garbled.

The same page (p_notfound.jsp) renders correctly if rendered directly or even through a servlet filter.

I tried adding a filter:

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF8");

But that doesn't help. Any ideas?

I experienced this problem too. I resolved it by updating. Are you using the latest version of Tomcat?

Using request.setCharacterEncoding () won't help you as it just changes the encoding used to parse the request parameters.

You should check this:

I tried this suggestion above, but I actually fixed it by adding a response header to force it through the servlet filter:

response.setHeader ("Content-Type", "text / html; charset = UTF-8");

Everything seems to be great!
