Thanks for the addition.

If somebody implements the database-actions like in the cocoon-example(2.03) <http://localhost:8080/cocoon/forms/employee>http://localhost:8080/cocoon/forms/employee it is
possible to include the set-encoding action into the <map:action-sets/>-section instead of including it into every pipeline.
fragment from cocoon/sitemap.xmap with the additional map:act-element
<map:action-sets>
<map:action-set name="employee">
<map:act type="set-encoding">
<map:parameter name="form-encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
</map:act>
<map:act action="Add" type="add-employee"/>
<map:act action="Delete" type="del-employee"/>
<map:act action="Update" type="upd-employee"/>

Subject: [SUMMARY] Encoding form data
Cocoon does not support non-US characters when posting data to the server.
Characters like è (e accent grave) are translated to two strange characters
when checking the posted data.
iso-8859-1 is the default encoding for Cocoon and it does support all
necessary West European characters (thanks to Bruno for pointing this
out). You can find out more on iso-8859-1 on
<http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html>http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html
If you need support for other characters you will need to replace
iso-8859-1 with UTF-8 which has Unicode support. More on UTF can be found
at <http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html>http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html
When you create a webform and post to a pipeline that has a request
generator and an XML serializer you will see that posted data is not
correctly presented. To correct this you need to add the
request.setCharacterEncoding method to set the encoding for the request
data. This method is captured in the setCharacterEncodignAction action.
To use it simply add
<map:action name="set-encoding"
src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.SetCharacterEncodingAction"/>
to the action component block
Then add this at the beginning of every pipeline that catches requested
non-ASCII data
<map:act type="set-encoding">
<map:parameter name="form-encoding" value="iso-8859-1"/>
</map:act>
Of course you need to replace "iso-8859-1" with "UTF-8" if you need to use
that encoding.
Another important thing is that you must make sure the data is sent out to
the browser with the correct encoding in the first place. To achieve this
add the encoding to the XML and the (x)html serializers.
<map:serializer mime-type="text/html" name="html"
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.HTMLSerializer" pool-grow="4"
pool-max="32" pool-min="4" logger="sitemap.serializer.html">
<buffer-size>1024</buffer-size>
<encoding>iso-8859-1</encoding>
</map:serializer>
This should do it!
Have fun.
