<fmt:requestEncoding> Tag

The <fmt:requestEncoding> tag is used to specify the form encoding type returned to the web application.

Syntax

&lt;fmt:requestEncoding value="<string>"/>

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Required	Default Value
key	The name of the character encoding set used to decode request parameters	Yes	None

Use the <fmt:requestEncoding> tag to specify the character set used to decode data from forms. This tag is necessary when the character set is not ISO-8859-1. Since most browsers do not include the Content-Type header in their requests, this tag is required.

The purpose of the <fmt:requestEncoding> tag is to specify the Content-Type of the request. You must specify a Content-Type, even if the response is encoded via the contentType attribute of the Page directive. This is because the actual locale of the response may differ from that specified by the Page directive.

If the page contains I18N-capable formatting actions that set the locale attribute of the response (by calling the ServletResponse.setLocale() method), any character set specified in the page will be overridden.
