problems with WLS 12c (12.1.1) weblogic.appc, jsp-s using UTF-8 and apache standard taglibs
Recently I downloaded latesct version of weblogic server to check how it performs and whether our web-apps would work without any modifications after upgrading from WLS 10.3.4. The first problem I ran into was with UTF-8 symbols. It seems that weblogic.appc doesn't read the encoding attribute in JSP XML header. As I compiled the jsp-s under windows, the default file encoding was possibly cp1252 or something similar. Anyway, when executing the compile from commandline I got several errors complaining about invalid utf-8 bytes:
SliderMenuContainerWidget.jsp:1:1: The page failed validation from validator: "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8
