hi people after many tests i think that this is about a small bug than a misconfiguration so i post it in this list
i have configure all serializers encoding in sitemap to UTF-8 and i try to post greek charakters in my main scenario where cforms post data and flow grab them and call custom java classes i have no problem in one case i have a simple form (web form) that post just a string i try to grab this in a flow function ... function searchProjects(){ var searchstring = cocoon.request.get("searchstring"); print(searchstring); var DAO = new Packages.gr.osmosis.apografi.db.DAOFactory.getDAOFactory(Packages.gr.osmosis.apografi.db.DAOFactory.ODBC); var projects= DAO.getProjectDAO().findProjectByText(searchstring); var viewData; viewData = { list : projects } cocoon.sendPage("listProjects.form", viewData); } ... here the searchstring is comming as "????????", one ? for each charakter i have test bot get and post methods in my webform with the same result farthermore i have try to use an .xsp page to grab this post and generate a simple .xml. ... <data> <xsp:logic> String searchstring = <xsp-request:get-parameter name="searchstring"/>; </xsp:logic> <param> <xsp:expr>searchstring</xsp:expr> </param> </data> ... here everything work fine and my posted string (greek charakters) is displayed corectly the way i use to set form encoding is to add this action in my pipeline <map:act type="set-encoding"> <map:parameter name="form-encoding" value="utf-8"/> </map:act> to summarize: posting data from cforms to flow work fine posting data from simple forms to .xsp work fine posting data from simple forms to flow _loose_ encoding is this realy a bug or i miss something regard stavros
