Hello

I am new to JSP, use to work with ASP.
In an application my company uses that wrote on JSP, it generate a page that include an email link like mailto:mymail@server.com?subject=the subject.

The problem starts with encoding because the subject is in Hebrew.

I made some tests. I saved the generated page as HTML and tried to play with the encoding, but with no luck. The subject remains in gibberish.

But when I saved the page as Unicode and not as ANSI, the subject was perfect.

The problem is that this page is generated by JSP.
How can I make it generating a Unicode text file and not an ANSI one.
Does it make sense?

Because I used to work on ASP and not on JSP, what do I need to do after I change a file? Compile it?

Please advice

read the documentation. It will tell you how to set up a JSP to return UTF-8 or whatever.
