Here we can keep a running account of which servers have problems running Sitemesh.
Weblogic
WL 7.0 SP4
- Currently does not set encoding for html documents, as a result sitemesh does not parse them. This may be fixed in SP5 (not yet investigated). A work around would be to have a filter that runs after sitemesh that manually sets the content type to text/html for all pages that end with '.html'.
- Encoding if set by a filter does not get picked up. Weblogic even converts invalid characters to question marks internally, so there's not much that can be done here. You will have to set the encoding manually in each page if you want to use i18n'd pages with Sitemesh
