Re: Struts2, tiles2 and character encoding problem
Reported bug: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/TILES-104 Let's continue any further conversation on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.

Re: Struts2, tiles2 and character encoding problem
Thank you for your reply. I upgraded from struts 2.0.4 to 2.0.5 but with the same result. I use maven to build the project which gives me the tiles version tiles-core-2.0-20070130.184344-3.jar. It seems to be the latest snapshot. Is this the version where the bug you mentioned is fixed? Or do you mean that it is fixed in the next build? Monitoring the response with fiddler shows that there is no content-type header. I use a tiles definition file and the insertAttribute tag to build the tiles result.

Re: Struts2, tiles2 and character encoding problem
TILES-28 should be resolved in the SNAPSHOT version you indicate, while the subsequent change (to the Taglib URI) hadn't been changed. I just deployed a 2.0-SNAPSHOT rather than let it hang on as something less clear going forward. But back to your issue: it might seem that you've found a variation of the problem that was fixed in TILES-28 Make absolutely sure you don't have more than one version of the tiles-core JAR in your app, but assuming that you don't, we'll have to sniff around some more and figure out what might be different. You're doing the right kind of monitoring already -- what does Fiddler say if you get a conventional Struts result (ServletDispatcherResult) from your app? What about if you get a JSP directly from the app without going through Struts? Joe On 2/7/07, elin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for your reply.

Struts2, tiles2 and character encoding problem
Hi, I use struts2 and tiles2 in my web application. When my tiles result contains data with åäö and I write the data using el, the characters are not displayed correctly. If I write the data with a struts tag, for example s:property the characters are displayed correctly. If I do not to use a tiles result, just a simple jsp, the characters are displayed correctly when I use el. I have specified struts.i18n.encoding=UTF-8. I use a CharacterEncodingFilter to set encoding to UTF-8. I specify meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8/ on the page. Any ideas? /Elin -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Struts2%2C-tiles2-and-character-encoding-problem-tf3181491.html#a8828883 Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Struts2, tiles2 and character encoding problem
Are you using the newest version of Tiles? There was a bug in which the content types were not being set in some cases; I was using a JSP page attribute to set the content type, not the other options, but it may be related. For everyone who is using Tiles 2, note that very soon now, the SNAPSHOT version of Tiles will be changing the URI for the TLD from http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles to http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles so you will need to update the taglib declarations in your JSPs. (We use a JSP include directive like this %@ include file=/WEB-INF/tiles/_boilerplate.jsp % so that we only have to change it in one place. If you don't do something like that, then I hope you have a good global search/replace option... I will probably build a new Maven SNAPSHOT in the next few days unless another developer does it first. (Note that if you're using Tiles 2, you probably ought to monitor the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list in case no one mentions things like this to the Struts user list. In general, Apache projects expect discussion of pre-release software to occur on dev lists, not user lists.)
