Karl Wright commented on FOR-1231:
----------------------------------
I figured it out. What we need to do is set the JAVA default encoding to UTF-8.
The easy way to do this is (on Windows):
set JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
... or on Linux:
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
Doing this before a Forrest invocation causes all JVMs it brings up to have the
right encoding. (It's Cocoon that seems to be broken, by the way)
> Forrest does not deal properly with UTF-8 .xml content, even with the proper
> XML content-type header, and generates corrupted HTML

> Key: FOR-1231
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1231
> Project: Forrest
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Internationalisation (i18n)
> Affects Versions: 0.9, 0.10-dev
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Priority: Critical
>
> We're using Forrest to generate the Apache ManifoldCF site. We've added
> Japanese content. The content worked fine via localhost:8888, but the
> generated html content does not load properly in a browser, even though the
> browser correctly divines that the HTML page has utf-8 encoding. It looks
> like many utf-8 characters in the source XML are handled correctly but some
> are corrupted. I've also tried the fix in FORREST-668 but this does not
> help. See http://incubator.apache.org/connectors and click on the tab in
> Japanese to see what I mean. The current source for the site can be found
> in: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/lcf/trunk/site.
> I checked out latest Forrest trunk and built and used that but there has been
> no improvement.
