Encoding issue in jsp page

Question

I have a problem about character encoding in jsp pages. Even if i added charset params to my page, i still have this problem. when I statically add Turkish chars to my jsp page it is ok, but the text added to the page dynamically by java has charset problem. And i am using webSphere 6 as app server of my app. This is how i added tags,

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-9" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1254">

For example the code below read related strings from language txt, and try to print it in jsp. all turkish chars encoded wrong , so that is why they appears wrong.

<h2><%=Messages.message("metin1")%>

Answer 1

1. Ensure that your .jsp file is really written with the expected encoding
2. In the servlet that dispatch to the jsp use request.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-9");
3. Try to put a tag with a purely ISO-8859-9 character inside.

Answer 2

Save the jsp file with utf encoding. Also use

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

in servlet.
