Encoding 

Data sent from the browser to a portal component for processing is converted based on the following properties, which are defined in the portal configuration file:

Name	Default Value	Description
runtime.doubleByteSupport	true	Convert data from browser. If runtime.doubleByteSupport is set to false, the encoding is the encoding defined at the servlet container level.
runtime.doubleByteSupport.encoding	UTF-8	Encoding for decoding data from browser and encoding data sent to browser.

Data is read in Unicode format and then manipulated accordingly. The locale of the browser is found with the getLocale() method of the original servlet request.
