Re: encoding problem in textarea

[Torsten Curdt]

Mate,

I am not totally sure but...

Technique:
I read the XML Source to a String (to add to the textarea widget) like this:

var string = org.apache.avalon.excalibur.io.IOUtil.toString(
  new java.io.BufferedInputStream(
    org.apache.cocoon.components.source.SourceUtil.getInputSource(
      resolver.resolveURI(uri)
    ).getByteStream()
  )
);

if you create a String from a byte stream, array or
whatever is byte-based don't you have to specify the
charset? AFAIK creating a String from a byte array
uses the platform default charset.

form.lookupWidget("xhtml").setValue(string);

did you check whether the string looks fine here?

...just what came up to my mind right away

HTH

cheers
