JavaServer Pages, 3rd Edition

Name

<fmt:requestEncoding>

Synopsis

The <fmt:requestEncoding> action sets the character encoding for the request to facilitate correct interpretation of request parameter values when the encoding is different from ISO-8859-1. The encoding can be specified explicitly. It can also be determined based on the request Content-Type header, if any, or the encoding session variable set by all JSTL actions that set the locale for a response (javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.request.charset).

Syntax

<fmt:requestEncoding [value="encodingName"] />
