Old Chestnut: Java, xslt and the £ sign

[lipska the kat]

Hi

Java 1.6.0_35 default transformer factory etc

In the web page in which the transformation is displayed

--------------------------------------------------------------------
<%@ page language="java"
contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The xml file being transformed

-------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no'?>
------------------------------------------------------

the xsl file

----------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
---------------------------------------

I've tried all the solutions Google supplies but I just cannot get the
transformed html to display the £ (GBP) sign at all.

I'm sure it's something that has been asked many times but I'm at a loss
to know what to do next.

Any ideas much appreciated.

thanks

lipska

jeez

in my custom tag

pageContext.getResponse().setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
pageContext.getResponse().setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");

fixes it.
