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.
