Re: Problem with Euro symbol

The symbol you are seeing is the symbol used to denote 'locale
specific currency symbol' in a format pattern. What is strange is
that if you don't have a symbol for that currency in your current
locale, you should get the ISO 3-letter code (EUR, in this case)
rather than a euro symbol. Is it possible that you are escaping the
currency symbol in your format string, so that the currency symbol
itself is being rendered to the output, rather than having it replaced
by the correct currency within the formatter?
The formatter is the standard Java formatter - so I don't escape
anything - I count on tapestry to do that.
The wrapper format object does not do anything with formatting, it just
manipulates the passed object before this is formatted by the java
currency format - it takes the long and passes a float which is the
original long divided by 100.
The only other thought I have is that you are telling your browser
that the file is UTF-8 via the meta header, but you may well not have
told Tapestry to spit out UTF-8 characters, resulting in the browser
rendering the generic currency symbol. Putting the meta
http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=UTF-8/ line in
the template is not the only thing necessary to get your documents in
UTF-8 correctly. That just tells the browsewr what to expect.
If I would, i would have used the tapestry configuration to change the
encoding - but actually I don't change the encoding at all, tapestry is
using utf-8 by default.
The line showing the meta in my postings was not taken from my template,
but from the html tapestry's shell component renders.
Tapestry
will use the default charset of the JVM when reading and writing to
streams, so if your default charset is not a superset of UTF-8, you
could easily wind up with characters that don't translate correctly.
Tapestry is set to use utf-8 by default - and I suspect it gets a string
€ 1000 - and should encode it the right way.
You can discover your default charset by simply printing
Charset.defaultCharset() to your logs. If you aren't running in
UTF-8, try telling the JVM that is running Tapestry to use UTF-8. You
can only change the default charset at startup. Add
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to your JAVA_OPTS var before running tomcat.
That will cause all templates and properties values to be rendered to
the client as UTF-8.
I will look again at this problem at friday, and will debug into it to
learn more - this is somewhat heavier because using jboss, so debugging
isn't fun at all :(
Thanx !
Cheers,
Ron
And yes, please let's take i18n very seriously as it is rare for me to
have to develop apps that aren't translated into several different
languages and charsets (cyrillic being the usual culprit when it comes
to problems)

Just a guess. You are using a number format without specifying
the locale. Hence, the default locale for your platform is
used which propably includes the encoding latin9. The code
which denotes the euro symbol in latin9 denotes the currency
symbol in latin1 and (IIRC) in UTF-8. Thus, you see the currency
symbol, not the expected euro symbol.

Hi all, I am using span jwcid=@Insert value=ognl:sum fomrat=ognl:currencyFormat /span the currency format is a java standard currency format, but the Euro symbol is not inserted properly so one gets a ¤ instead of € - any idea why and how to change that? the page includes the standard meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=UTF-8/ which is generated by the Shell component.

mmm...
NumebrFormat.getCurrencyInstance()
Locale defaultLocale = new Locale(fr, FR, EURO);
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(defaultLocale);
String formattedValue = nf.format(value);
System.out.println(formattedValue);
Try then
. new String(formattedValue.getBytes(ISO-8859-1));
or

etc:
