Hi *,
We're integrating with a third party. They call a rest endpoint which we
handle through wicket (a special page subclass).
We run a full utf-8 stack, and during integration testing we encountered
a weird problem.
One of the post parameters (a bit of text) is showing the Unicode
replacement character (U+FFFD), shown as
"h�ngt p� d�" (when the actual content is "hängt på dörr").
After a bit of digging I found out that they send an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded body without a charset specified.
Tomcat thus parses it using the default setting (utf-8).
So my problem is this: I get iso-8859-1 content, which is parsed as
utf-8, which does not work.
Is there a way to make wicket interpret this one request as iso-8859-1?
I've taken a look at HttpServletRequest#setCharacterEncoding(), but
calling that from within our endpoint (= wicket page) is too late.
Wicket has already called ServletWebRequest#isAjax(), and thus post
parameters have already been parsed.
Unfortunately, I cannot re-interpret the string as latin1, as I don't
have access to the original byte[] data.
FYI: Wicket 1.5
