AW: JSP page directive contentType overriden by Apache tomcat?

Hi Jungshik,

We have seen problems like this too.  When we have investigated, we found that a call to response.setLocale will cause the content-type header to be overwritten.  This will happen if you use any of the fmt tags in JSTL.

We ended up resetting the content-type several times.  This workaround is problematic because you can only re-set the content-type when the response has not been committed.  If the response buffer is small and the response content is large, then the first buffer will be sent and after that point, you can no longer change the content-type header.

Even more strange is that everything works perfectly when I connect with Safari (locally - http://localhost:8080/.....) while on the same host Mozilla does have a problem. So does a remote Mozilla and MS IE.  Is there any built-in 'charset' negotiation mechanism in Tomcat (or JSP container in general)?
