      To reproduce in standalone, modify the hosted jsp to server utf8 content with a charset other than latin (eg the Greek phrase: "Δοκιμαστικό Μήνυμα"), notice that the message is not displayed properly. A further look into the sent headers will reveal that other things are also not sent properly.

      The following jsp snippet can be used as the head of the hosted jsp:

      <%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
      <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
      <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>

      <c:set var="lng" value="${not empty param.lang ? param.lang : not empty lng ? lng : pageContext.request.locale}" scope="session" />

    Description

      The hosted page is served via a RequestDispatcher.include instead of a RequestDispatcher.forward. As a result, the page is not properly sent to the client. The effect might not be noticed in a standalone Jboss, but when the hosted page is served via mod_cluster, the source code of the page is shown because content type is text.
