Hello,
I'm currently trying to publish shapefiles in a Geoserver, where the
specificity of the shapefile is that it handles characters from others
alphabets (my current case is with Greek names). The shapefile i have
has been generated by setting the DBF encoding to UTF-8. This shapefile
creation goes fine, and i can exploit and read correctly the shapefile
in other softwares.
I then push it programmatically through GeoServer REST API:
• If I push it to a datastore configured with DBF encoding "UTF-8", my
names are badly encoded through WFS response.
• on the other hand, i could get properly encoded names in WFS if I do
the following: before pushing it to the datastore, my datastore is set
with "ISO-8859-1" encoding for DBF; i then push my shapefile. If i go to
the datastore, and change DBF encoding from "ISO-8859-1" to "UTF-8",
then look at my WFS response, it's fine. And of course, if I try to
upload again my shapefile to this last datastore, i lose my encoded names...
Any idea how to solve this?
Many thanks in advance for your help
Emmanuel
