After searching the archives, I found some stuff about the encoding in cocoon. I tried changing the ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 in the web.xml, but that did not change the problem. (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=106760662600010&r=1&w=2)When I passed the url, it still was in the wrong format 'A?'(String assuming Unicode instead of UTF-8). I found a wiki page concerning encoding in cocoon at http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=RequestParameterEncoding. I fixed my problem by applying a conversion to all parameters in my flow that may contain an incoming url. This conversion is also stated in the wiki page: value = new String(value.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");So whenever you're using parameters and passing something that's UTF-8, do that conversion to avoid problems concerning the special chars.Hope this helps others!:)Bye,
