Hello all, while searching for the character encoding problem, the following
needs to be chaged:
1) support UTF-8 in the html pages, in order to do that u will need to add
the following jsp code in the header of the page: mainLayout.jsp, the code
to add is the following:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
%>
2) change the encoding of the request at the java part..
this will be adding the following code:
ServletConfig config = getServletConfig();
String encoding =config.getInitParameter("PARAMETER_ENCODING");
if (encoding != null) {
request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
}
and u will have to add the PARAMETER_ENCODING in the web.xml file:
<context-param>
<param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</context-param>
I did this and added the code in the functions doGet and doPost in the
class: Dispatcher.java
the problem is that mifos dont use these functions in the normal requests.
Any idea where to change the characters encoding?
thanks
