I am getting "The character encoding of the plain text document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the file needs to be declared in the transfer protocol or file needs to use a byte order mark as an encoding signature" on hitting my REST endpoint
my jsp header
<%# page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"
</head>
my endpoint
#Path("/create")
#POST
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
As mentioned by #lucumt you have a syntax error in your code. the meta tag is not ending correctly in /> - also I corrected the lower case of utf-8 to uppercase:
<%# page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>

I am developing a simple Struts 1.x web application and there's a file named success.jsp and this is the sample code:
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-logic" prefix="logic"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-nested" prefix="nested"%>
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html:html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>success.jsp</title>
<html:base/>
</head>
<body>
Go to myStart
</body>
</html:html>
By default, <html>was used instead of <html:html>, may I know what is the major difference between these two elements? Is it necessary to specify the uses of them? Besides, what is the major function for <html:base/> element?
Btw I found some definitions for these elements but I need clarification:
<html:html> Renders an HTML <html> element with language attributes extracted from the user's current Locale object, if there is one.
<html:base> Renders an HTML element with an href attribute pointing to the absolute location of the enclosing JSP page. This tag is valid only when nested inside an HTML <head> element. This tag is useful because it allows you to use relative URL references in the page that are calculated based on the URL of the page itself, rather than the URL to which the most recent submit took place (which is where the browser would normally resolve relative references against).
The <html:html> tag is a Struts 1.x JSP Taglib directive, declared in this line on your JSP Page:
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
These custom tag(s) are typically of the form <prefix:tagname>. The prefix declared on taglib is what binds your taglib container to the list of markups available in the taglib.
In essence <html:html> tells the taglib, prefixed html to render a html element when JSP is rendered.
So to answer your question <html> is a HTML directive while <html:html> is a Struts JSP taglib tag to generate a HTML <html> directive.
I am trying to insert Unicode values into mysql database using jsp forms. But data is saved like à´à´®àµà´¤ in the database.
What should I do?
I added
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
in the form. Database is also in utf8 format.
I can enter Unicode values directly into the database and retrieve it. Problem occurs when form is used
I want to send a query string from one jsp page to jsp page but I want to hide the name-value pairs(attributes) at address bar when I send the query string.
First.jsp
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>First Page</title>

<body>

</html>
Second.jsp
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

<%
String username = request.getParameter("username");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
%>
Username : <%=username %><br/>
Password : <%=password %><br/>
</body>
</html>
Here, I pass a query string "Second.jsp?username=aditya123&password=abc12345" from First.jsp page to Second.jsp page but I want to send this without showing username and password attribute and their value at address bar.How can it possible?
Try this code
<form action="some.jsp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="uid" >
<input type="password" name="pass">
<input type="submit" name="login" >
</form>
Adding method ="post" hides the query stringThat is ,if i remove ' method="post" ' the processed url on pressing submit button would be having
Following as query string
uid="whatever i wrote in text field"&pass=""&login="Submit"
But after writing ' method="post" ' the new url will be free of query string...!
it is not possible with link.
alternate solution of not showing attribute is encode that name value pair and send it with url and decode at another page.
use either url encoder given by java or make use of your own encrypt-decrypt method.
The easiest thing to do is <form action="some.jsp" method="post">
Do this formatting in the html code.
And contents of url will be hidden...
You can store all the objects/information you want to pass to the second jsp file by storing the objects in the 'session' implicit object using session.setAttribute() method. In the second page you can retrieve those objects from the 'session' object using session.getAttribute(). My assumption here is that both the jsp pages are being executed in the same HttpSession, hence the same 'session' object will be available to both the jsp pages.
How to check what really charset, encoding of some html page ?
For example, the charset of some html page is iso-8859-1, but the content of the html written with utf8
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
...
here is content with utf8
...
</html>
How to check it, Is it possible to check with java charset, encoding of html page,
like it's done in browsers ?
Thank you !
I have two jsp pages. I am trying to add "Russian" language. Russian characters are shown perfectly on jsp page, but when I try to send this value to another jsp page from parameter then in second jsp page this value is changed to different characters. This problem is only in Russian Language and not in others such as Italy and French.
For example
On demo.jsp page the russian character "приветствие" is shown correctly.
but when I try to send it to another page "test.jsp" then some unknown
characters are shown like "!C<Cä5 Cô>CôCC´OD=Cä5!"
Code:
demo.jsp
String welcometext=langP.get("welcome");
<jsp:include page="<%=test.jsp%>">
<jsp:param name="wlc" value="<%=Encode.hex8Code(welcometext)%>" />
</jsp:include>
In test.jsp
String title = Encode.utfToUnicode(Decode.hex8Decode(request.getParameter("wlc")));
System.out.println(" Russial welcome test "+welcome);
Is there any special code we need to add for Russia while sending them in query parameters??
Please note* the following code are already written else it would have given problem for French and Italy language too..
<%# page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Also tried with following but didn't help out!
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")
Try to add <% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); %> to your main jsp page:
Here is my example:
demo.jsp
<%#page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Привет</h1>
<jsp:include page="/test.jsp" flush="true">
<jsp:param name="wlc" value="Привет"/>
</jsp:include>
</body>
</html>
test.jsp
<h1>Param values is</h1>
<%
String hello = request.getParameter("wlc");
out.print(hello);
%>
I don't know the better solution but the following code solved this issue. I kept the variable in session attribute.
demo.jsp
session.setAttribute("welcometext", welcometext);
test.jsp
String welcometest=(String) session.getAttribute("welcometext");
