use "input.encoding" since 1.4
-------------------------------
Key: VELTOOLS-119
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-119
Project: Velocity Tools
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: VelocityView
Affects Versions: 1.4, 2.0, 2.x
Reporter: Masakazu Ikezawa
Hello,
I have a request to VelocityViewServlet.
Until Velocity Tools 1.3 , VelocityViewServlet used "input.encoding" velocity
property at read templete file.
Because tools 1.3 used following logic to create template.
----
protected Template handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
String path = ServletUtils.getPath(request);
return getTemplate(path);
....
public Template getTemplate(String name)
return velocity.getTemplate(name);
----
RuntimeInstance#getTemplate(String) method is asa follows, so used
"input.encoding" property at read templete file.
----
return getTemplate(name, getString( INPUT_ENCODING, ENCODING_DEFAULT));
----
Since 1.4 , this logic changed and specify encoding in VelocityViewServlet(or
VelocityView) with getTemplate(String name,String encoding) method.
The used encoding is "response.getCharacterEncoding()".
So "input.encoding" property is ignored sinse 1.4 (except response==null).
This is very embarrassed for me.
I have a web application used Velocity & VelocityTools that created at 2004 in
Japan.
That application used "Windows-31J" encoding because it was most popular
japanese encoding (Japanese Windows Default Encoding).
But , today used a lot of unicode characters except Windows-31J and I need to
use these charactor in this application.
This application's db is use unicode at first, Windows-31J used view part only.
And these unicode character used input text only , not use in form phrase.
I try to change response encoding to UTF-8 and velocity property defines as
follows.( at 2007, used VelocityTools1.3)
input.encoding=Windows-31J
output.encoding=UTF-8
This try was sucess, and this application supported all unicode charactors
without change all template files.
I think this is collect use because Velocity have "input.encoding" and
"output.encoding" property . Velocity allowed the case of templete encoding and
output file encodig is differ.
I want to use VelocityToool 2.0 , but can't use by this reason. ( It is
difficult to convert all template files to UTF-8)
Could you add the method of using "input.encoding" in VelocityViewServlet?
