Topic awaiting preservation: Using UTF-8 encoding for jsp textarea field instead HTML encoding

Hi i want use UTF-8 encoding for my jsp's text area field instead of HTML encoding.
I want to know how to set explicit encoding for a text area content in jsp file.

UTF-8 encoding and HTML (not an encoding) are not mutually exclusive. I suggest you use UTF-8 for pretty much everything. If the problem is you need something other than UTF-8 for everything _except_ one particular textarea, then you have problems indeed. Pick one.

How we can set encoding type in jsp explicitly.

Probably one of these:

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

<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
