Subject: [Stripes-users] Input with non-standard character input
I have an input in which symbols like © can be entered. Inside my action, the
input variable has the text © where ever the the © was inputted. How can I
fix this?
I don't think your problem is stripes-specific, but it is a very common problem
in web applications. See this page (also relevant if you don't use Tomcat):
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding
The problem you most likely have is
"Most web browsers today do not specify the character set of a request, even
when it is something other than ISO-8859-1. This seems to be in violation of
the HTTP specification. Most web browsers appear to send a request body using
the encoding of the page used to generate the POST (for instance, the <form>
element came from a page with a specific encoding... it is that encoding
which is used to submit the POST data for that form)."
If you only need special characters in POST requests I would recommend setting
all HTML pages you with your forms to UTF-8 and using the
org.apache.catalina.filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter (you can copy this
filters' code to your application code if you don't use Tomcat).
