Hi,
We have upgraded from Blackdown-1.3.1_02b-FCS
(on debian stable)
to
Blackdown-1.4.2-01 on debian sarge.
After that, tomcat can't read files
with accented characters (e.g. é, è, à etc)
in their filenames, and also it can't read
files with åäö (Swedish characters).
Java itself (running alone outside tomcat)
handles this with
$ LANG=en_US java <class>
(running on the command line) but tomcat
seems to care less.
I know this might be a tomcat question,
but cusious as I am, I investigated
the way charsets is handled in 1.4, and
found out about charsets.jar.
Looking in that archive, I found these:
$ jar -tf /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/lib/charsets.jar |grep ISO_8859_[0-9].class
sun/nio/cs/ext/ISO_8859_3.class
sun/nio/cs/ext/ISO_8859_6.class
sun/nio/cs/ext/ISO_8859_8.class
but no ISO_8859_1. Why is that?
(just out of curiosity).
On our test server, running
Blackdown-1.3.1_02b-FCS (on woody)
Java on the command line handles
filenames with åäö (Swedish chars)
and accented chars in the filename
without the LANG= ploy.
What might be wrong/different?
Thanks in advance
Rikard
This has now been solved by doing this:
First, start tomcat by changing catalina.sh,
the "start" section, by prepending the line
saying:
"$_RUNJAVA" $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS ...
so that it reads:
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 "$_RUNJAVA" $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS ...
Than fixes the problem. It seems that Tomcat
cares only for LC_CTYPE and not LANG.
Strangely, it did not work to export LC_CTYPE within
catalina.sh, you had to set it on the line as above.
Restart tomcat, and it should work. At least it did for us.
It had nothing to do with charsets.jar, the class for
ISO-8859-1 resides in rt.jar.
Still don't know why all this changed from
previous versions.
Kind regards
Rikard
