The WebFacing Tool creates Web applications with multiple language
support. Because languages use different character sets, data streams between
the browser and WebSphere Application Server are UTF-8 encoded. For WebFacing
J2EE 1.2 projects to work correctly, UTF-8 support must be configured in the
WebSphere Application Server administrative console. Refer to the section
of this document pertaining to the version of the application server that
you are using for the steps to follow to configure UTF-8 support.
Note: Only
use application server instances or servers configured for UTF-8 support with
Web applications that use UTF-8 encoding. UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 applications
cannot be run on the same instance or server.
