Folks,
Please make sure you've got this method in your Boot.scala class:
/**
* Force the request to be UTF-8
*/
private def makeUtf8(req: HttpServletRequest) {
req.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")
}
And also in the boot method, put:
LiftRules.early.append(makeUtf8)
By default, various app servers (Tomcat is the worst) does not use UTF-8...
I mean WTF... the web is UTF unless otherwise specified.
Anyway... please give that a try and let me know if it works.
Thanks,
David
