Hi mark, not at all 1) there are 20 results for Djavax.servlet.request.encoding in google ^^ (but am really not sure this parameter really exists in tomcat) 2) URIEncoding="UTF-8" set the encoding used for html link, the default is platform dependent.
I "suppose" the Zis wanted to set the default character encoding of the request parameter, which is the most problematic part of http client server, as client is suppose to tell it to server, but they most of the time omit it. The only way i know to solve it is to write a small servlet filter that issue a request.setEncoding("UTF-8") btw Zis, your catalina not starting is because you need to replace your line JAVA_OPTS=-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to the following JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" (notice the little " , it's not a tomcat problem, it's a shell rule :) ) this is even better: JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 ${JAVA_OPTS}" regards Mark Thomas a écrit : > Java Development Team wrote: > >> Hi everyone. >> Iam trying to change server default enconding from ISO8859_1 to UTF8. >> Till now I found 2 differrent solutions. >> The fisrt one is to use the following in my catalina.sh: >> set JAVA_OPTS=-Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 >> > Never seen this before and Google returns zero hits. > > -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 > This is a read-only option on some platforms > > >> The second one is to use filters which i will try if dont get any luck with >> the above which seems to be more efficient solution. >> > > Or 3, code your application for UTF-8 from the start. > > Which ever way you go, you will almost certainly need to set > URIEncoding="UTF-8" on the connector. > > Mark > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
