Request/Response Handling

When data is sent from the browser to the portal component for processing, the data is converted by the PRT according to the following properties defined in the portal configuration file.

Name	Default Value	Description
runtime.doubleByteSupport	true	Convert data sent by the browser
runtime.doubleByteSupport.encoding	UTF-8	Encoding used to convert the data received from the browser

The data are read in a Unicode format and are then manipulated accordingly. The locale of the browser can be found using the getLocale() method of the original servlet request.

If the property runtime.doubleByteSupport is set to false, the encoding used by the PRT is the encoding defined at the servlet container level.

The runtime.doubleByteSupport.encoding property is also used to encode the data sent by the portal component and presented to the user in the browser.
