将字符集添加到响应头

Question

I am using following to run my web application -

1. Eclipse
2. Java 1.6_21
3. Tomcat

When i run my application on my local machine using eclipse, in the response header i can see that Content-Type is set to following -

Content-Type:text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

But when i run my application on the production servers by deploying war file in the tomcat then the Content-Type in the response header is set to following -

Content-Type:text/html

I want to know how charset=ISO-8859-1 is set when i run application on my local machine and why it is not getting set on the production environment.

Do I need to do something in the tomcat configuration on the production environment to ensure that chartset is set into the Content-Type or the problem lies somewhere else?

Answer 1

For servlets, you can just set it in the response, eg:

response.setContentType("text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1");
response.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-1");

For JSP, you set it in a page directive:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" %>

For Tomcat global, the answer here may help.
