PM08303: CHARACTER ENCODING NOT PROPAGATED OVER WSRP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Content Type header does not contain charset encoding for
  portlets that are requested via WSRP.
  If the portlet explicitly sets a charset encoding, this value
  is
  not propagated over WSRP which might lead to problems when
  displaying non-ASCII characters
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When a portlet sets a character encoding in the
  serveResource() method, this encoding is not propagated when the
  portlet is used via WSRP.
  

Problem conclusion

• The producer now transfers clientAttributes to the consumer.
  On the consumer side, if a client attribute (e.g. character
  encoding) is found for a serveResource invocation, this
  attribute is set as property to the PortletResponse object.
