Hi msjava,
I'm trying to migrate our webapp from ServletExec4.1.1/JDK1.3.1 to
Tomcat5.0.30/JDK1.4.2.
On ServletExec, our app was showing/saving UTF-8 strings correctly. However,
after migration to Tomcat, the pages are not showing UTF-8 encoded content
correctly.
If your are POSTing your data, request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")
should do the trick but you MUST call this before any parameters are read.
If you are encoding your data in the URI, you will need to set the
URIEncoding attribute on the coyote connector to "UTF-8" to ensure that
the URI is decoded correctly.
Do I need to do something else for Tomcat? In particular, do I need to do the
stuff mentioned here: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-tomcat/Tomcat/UTF-8
1. Yes
2 & 3 - No . These might work under some circumstances but 2. is trying
to change a read-only property and 3. is hacking around the data not
being handled correctly in the first place.
When I am testing this, I use the following JSP to make sure Tomcat is
correctly configured. A clean Tomcat install should only require
URIEncoding="UTF-8" to be added to the connector in server.xml for these
to work for any UTF-8 data. You should test it with both method="post"
and method="get"
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>UTF-8 test page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>UTF-8 data posted to this form was:
<%
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
out.print(request.getParameter("mydata"));
%>
</p>
<form method="post" action="index.jsp"
enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<input type="text" name="mydata">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
If this works, then the chances are your app isn't quite right. If you
have a test case that doesn't work (try and make it as simple as
possible) post it to the list and I'll take a look.
