page encoding problem?

Hello,

we enter data in a form using German Umlauts e.g. 漩?br>This is stored in a SessionBean.

If the same page is reloaded due to e.g. a failed validation the Umlauts are scrambled: e.g. "h鰎en" becomes "h枚ren"

We suspect this got something to do with the HTML page encoding.

The Browser (Firefox) reads it as UTF-8, if it is switched to ISO-... some other static texts gets scrambled.

What should we do to resolve this?

The HTML source code created by Creator does not show any tag determining the encoding. How do we do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Juergen
