RE: Internationalization problem
Hi all
I finally got back to the problem and solved it the solution was as other described
here:
At the start of the application (the first servlet in my case) before any
Use of the HttpServletRequest object I've added:
"request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");"
And that's it the application can receive and send any character in the Unicode set.
Thanks
Jonathan

Some sources say to set in catalina.sh
JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding="UTF8"
What is relation of that parameter and Web/JSP/i18n ?

I think that resource properties ONLY support ISO-8859-1. They do allow UTF characters to be defined provided the high order byte is zero. It is a weakness in property files (which is yet to be addressed). Consider populating the properties file without using the default load mechanism to allow/preserve the UTF-8 encoding.

RE: Internationalization problem
Hi, take a look at this thread. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg91815.html Like Ralph Einfeldt said, you need to encode the JSP files, the request and the response. You've done the JSP part, now you want to define a filter for the other two. Btw, ISO-8859-1(Latin 1) covers most Western European Languages, it should be able to handle the French characters. -Yan -Original Message- From: Evgeny Gesin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 7:33 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Internationalization problem I see, so this JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding="UTF8" is important to generate correct chars from hardcoded strings if written directly in java files.

You have to consider 3 different topics: - encoding of generated java files This is defined by the file.encoding option of the jvm. - encoding of the response This is defined by the encoding tag of the jsp or by explicitly setting the encoding in the response - encoding of the request This is defined by explicitly setting the encoding for the request. > -Original Message- > From: Evgeny Gesin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 2:27 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Internationalization problem > > > Some sources say to set in catalina.sh > JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding="UTF8" > > What is relation of that parameter and Web/JSP/i18n ? > > Evgeny Gesin > Javadesk > > --- "STOCKHOLM, Raymond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > é is "é" in UTF-8. > > It means that your browser is returning UTF-8, and > > your servlet/JSP > > is expecting ISO-8859-1. > > Check how your JSP is configured to handle the > > character set. > > To use UTF-8 in your JSP : > > <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" > > pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> > > and make sure that the charset in your JSP/HTML is > > defined as UTF-8 : > > > > > > > > -Message d'origine- > > De : Jonathan Abramsohn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Envoyé : mardi 2 mars 2004 11:48 > > À : Tomcat Users List > > Objet : Internationalization problem > > > > > > > > I have problem with French special characters, like > > e with "accent" (é), > > When I get this character from user input, tomcat > > gets it as: é. > > Although I didn't check this in other languages I > > presume the same problems should also occur in > > German and Spanish and probably other languages. > > I'm working with tomcat 4.0.1 on Linux RH 9.0 > > Anyone knows how to solve this? > > > > > > > > > - > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > - > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > __ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

RE: Internationalization Problem
Assuming you're talking about a JSP (and not a static HTML page), try doing this at
the top of your JSP file:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
Or
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
(these are equivalent, if memory serves me correctly).
I've always been a little unsure as to how the browsers handle differences in the HTTP
header and HTTP-EQUIV, but I guess your example shows that it's using the HTTP header
(the default is ISO-8859-1). Althought, it might be browser-dependent. I always just
make sure they match.
Another thing to look out for...if you're handling posted form data, make sure you
call request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") before doing the request.getParameter
calls. There might be other ways to handle this, depending on your servlet container.
I think Tomcat requires the call to request.setCharacterEncoding, but I know that
iPlanet 6 doesn't support that call. For iPlanet 6, you have change a configuration
file to tell it you want posted data to be interpreted as UTF-8. This is legacy HTTP
stuff...there's no standard way for a POST to contain the character set of the data
(the web application just has to know).

Re: Internationalization Problem
1) 4.1.12 is full of bugs 2) HTML header is prior to tag, so if you don't specify encoding in the response the default one is enforced "ISO-8859-1" (you can see it in generated code for JSP servlet) 3) Setting it directly to response.setContentType() wont work, don't know why, it's a bug in Tomcat as far as I investigated 4) Only solution is to use <[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding=... %> in the begining of your JSPs and that does not work for me for all the tomcats 4.1.X but works for 4.0.6 I can't say WHY it is happening! I guess coz it is open source code and nobody is responsible for anything! ___ Living things are systems that tend to respond to changes in their environment, and inside themselves, in such a way as to promote their own continuation.

My server is sending the right characters(Russian) to the browser. And also I have put this tag "" in the head pasrt of my out put. The problem is browser cannot render the characters correctly. And when I see the view -> Encoding menu of the browser "Western Europian(Windows)" was selected. If I manually change that to UTF-8 it paints the correct characters. So I added the code(socument.chatset="utf-8") to force the browser to select UTF-8 as encoding. This time the encoidng was selected as UTF-8 and still the browser doesnt paint the characters correctly. If I click on view->Encoding->UTF-8 manually(Though utf-8 is selected by default). It paints the characters correctly. I am confused with this kind of behaviour. I am using tomcat4.1.12 as my servlet engine and web server. And also I am using struts framework(tag lib also). Note: When I set the charset in the response. The server doesnt send the right characters to the browser. If I dont set any charset in the response header, server sends the right charset to the browser. I am also confused whether the problem is browser or the server. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
