U must define a filter in your web.xml so all character encoding in UTF-8
LIKE THIS ....
for more visit www.anassina.com/struts/i18n/i18n.html
I work in MySQL 3.23 with out problem
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<filter-class>filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<!-- Define filter mappings for the defined filters -->
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>

Subject: Tomcat/Struts Unicode Encoding/Decoding problems
Hi all,
I am trying to setup a database driven web site that displays unicode
characters. I have spent much time on this but my attempts have been
unsuccessful.
I have tested my JDBC business logic with the database and works fine but
when I use my application to perform a search it fails to find anything, ie
it does not correctly retrieve international characters. (It must be a
struts/server issue) When I printout the string used, it appears mangled
both in the Tomcat console and my JSP.
If I display Unicode characters retrieved from the database they again
appear mangled. (Mind you that my UTF-8 encoded Message bundle displays fine
on the same page!)
Here is what I have done.
JSP setup
========
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java"
pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<html:form action="/DoSearch" focus="title" method="post" target="content"
enctype="text/plain;charset=UTF-8" >
to change the server's decoding I used
<% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); %>
before retrieving my form data
out.print("RESPONSE character encoding="
+response.getCharacterEncoding()+" " );
out.print("REQUEST character encoding=" +request.getCharacterEncoding()+"
" );
out.println("JVM encoding " +System.getProperty("file.encoding")+" ");
Reveals "UTF-8" encoding for server response/request and "Cp1253"
(standard Greek windows code page) for the JVM. (could this be the problem?
Is there a way to change this?)
Tomcat Setup
============
I have added the following in startup.bat
JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding="utf8"
CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding="utf8"
Software components.
=========================
- OS: Microsoft Windows XP Pro
- Database: mysql-4.1.1
- JDBC: mysql-connector-java-3.1.0
- Web Server: jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24
- Framework: struts 1.1
- Development Tool: NetBeans 3.5
Should I be configuring something in struts instead? Maybe an encoding
parameter in either web.xml or struts-html?
I am out of ideas so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Theo
