Hi all,



For a project I am working on, I had to write a filter to attach to WebSphere Portal to post-process the HTML being sent back to the browser. Long story, but needed to move some meta-data tags to the <head> section of the web page.



I've attached this filter to Portal successfully by altering the web.xml on the wps.war file, and it works as expected.



However, it has created two problems ...




  • Extended characters are being displayed as ?'s (it is not properly handling them as UTF-8); and

  • View -> Page Source from IE doesn't work on the rendered portal page with the filter in place. It just does nothing. No error, or any idea why it doesn't work. Viewing the page source does work from Firefox.




Has anyone written a filter for Portal and experienced the same problems?



I can provide the code if you need it.



Regards,

Corey.
