JSPs.
Downloadable files
Abstract
DBCS(UTF-8) text, such as Japanese, retrieved from a JSP™
input field or passed as a jsp:param gets corrupted.
Download Description
USERS AFFECTED: IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Developers using DBCS
characters in the JSP input field and request parameters.
If a JSP page encoding is set using <%@ page language="java"
contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>, and if the JSP uses the JSP
standard actions jsp:useBean and jsp:setProperty to store and retrieve the
input from the Java™ bean, then the DBCS text input is returned as garbled
text. Also a DBCS text string set as the value of the jsp:param becomes
"??" when retrieved using request.getParameter.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
To prevent garbled DBCS text, during internal input parse on QueryString,
the jsp dipatcher will not parse the input specified in the user encoding
format.
