Character Encoding in Servlet

[Lee Cage]

Hello,

I have a interesting problem with servlets. Apparently first I want to ask if it is possible to use Turkish Characters in servlet files? (like ı,i,ğ,�ş,�,�) I used these characters in servet. When I compiled and run the file in netbeans, 'ğ' character doesn't show up in browser, instead, I see a question mark. I set my browsers encoding utf-8. After compiling, netbeans changes the 'ğ' characters to question marks in code. I don't know how to solve this problem. it would be great if someone help me. Here is the piece of code I used in servlet.

protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
writer.print("���ğğşiş�� - test string");
}

You will need to use the native2ascii tool as part of your build process. From its documentation:

The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files which contain Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded (\udddd notation) characters. native2ascii converts files which contain other character encodings into files containing Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded charaters.
