AW: AW: Transforming a String to valid HTML encoding
Thank you for your help, Craig. I don't know if you got me completely right.. or maybe I didn't understand. What I want to do is to transform the regional characters of a String like ü into uuml; The reason is, that I don't want to use utf-8, but ISO-8859-1 for my html pages. And if a ü appears in the ISO-8859-1 characterset in the browser, it is not displayed correctly in a browser using the english locale. But it is displayed correctly if uuml; is used. (what is the name for this format?) As far as I could learn, java.net.URLEncoder transforms into application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format, used for the URLs. But this format is not for the body of a html page, right? Regards, Bernhard -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Craig R. McClanahan Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.

ResponseUtils is only worried about filtering the characters that could cause security problems -- it is not designed to be a general purpose URL encoder. For that, check out the java.net.URLEncoder class. Craig? Thank you very much Craig - original message - I still have the problem to transform a String containing national special characters to the appropriate HTML encoding. i.e.: schön reich -- schouml;n amp reich The class org.apache.struts.util.ResponseUtils only transforms the 4 characters , , and into their html representative. Is there another transformer around? Any hints highly appreciated.

Nothing is wrong with utf-8. Maybe it would be the best to use it, even though everything is much more complex while handling stuff like the html form entries, which have to be converted. The main reason is that our customer has problems with its application server configuration when I deliver JSPs in utf-8. I don't know what kind of problems, because it is not possible for me to check the configuration - it is a high security area where they run their servers, and there are reasons why I'm not allowed to check it. I just deliver and get the bug reports... So I think I better use the ISO-8859-1 character set with html characters like amp. It may be stupid, but it eases a lot.

No, as far as you are using the SetCharacterEncoding filter coming with the example application of Tomcat. reports... So I think I better use the ISO-8859-1 character set with html characters like amp. It may be stupid, but it eases a lot. I use iso-8859-2 if I know that each user input is covered in it. However I need to use the abovementioned filter in this case too. Hth, Tib -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

What is this SetCharacterEncoding filter doing? Is it only working with Tomcat? (We use WebSphere 4) I also have unicode characters from the DB which have to be displayed correctly. Is this filter good for that? Bernhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: AW: AW: AW: AW: Transforming a String to valid HTML encoding
If I am not mistaken, under Servlet 2.3 spec, you can call the setCharacterEncoding() method on the request and set it to a desired encoding before reading any parameters from the request. The container is responsible for providing you with request parameters in the encoding your specified from this point on. WAS 4.0 does not support the J2EE 1.3 spec (it supports 1.2.1). You will need WAS 5.0 for this to work. It is working in Tomcat because the version of Tomcat you have supports J2EE 1.3. - Original Message - From: Gemes Tibor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 4:46 AM Subject: Re: AW: AW: AW: AW: Transforming a String to valid HTML encoding 2003. január 15. 11:32 dátummal Hirschmann, Bernhard ezt írtad: I think I have to study this in more detail - it still isn't quite clear for me.
