Using Unicode in jsp

Question

Hello to all,
I am developing marathi language application using jsp.
For thsi thing i am using windows2000's built in facility to
to enter data in marathi.
I have got follwing problem
1)i can't retive the data properly which is enter in marathi.
2)since the page contains the marathi labels i have to save the page in utf-8 format only
3) if i save the same page in ANSI format the data which is entered in marathi is retived properly
4) In the comparision to both when i print the values on console before inserting in the database the page which is saved in UTF-8 format changes the value before entering into the database .
I have tried number of things i have used
1) <%@page contentType ....tag
2) i also use the request.setCharacterEncoding(..) property but it is not working
The problem remains the same for variety of backends since jsp itself is changing the values defore inserting into the database
If anybody knows this solution please tell me bacause i am trying really hard to find the solution to this

Hi ,
Its an issue whats encoding your JVM is using . Make sure that your virtual machine encoding is UTF-8 , which can support multi-language . In you are using jsp file set response encoding to UTF-8 . As the following
�     To check your default JVM encoding
out.println(System.getProperty("file.encoding"));
�     To reset JVM ecncoding to UTF-8
Properties pi = System.getProperties ();
pi.put ("file.encoding", "UTF-8"); // To add a new one
System.setProperties(pi);
If this can solve the issue let me know ..

response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
