Hi Theodore,

My answer to your question is inline below.

A question for WOnderers: is there any good reason for not setting encoding to UTF-8 in the WOnder project templates? Does it slow down performance compared to the current default?

I just started a new Wonder project and I am testing data input and I notice that instead of seeing Señor, I see in the database Seà ±or (this also shows on the screen when I read the data into a web page).

My database (postgresql) is set up with UTF-8 encoding and as I said this always worked (correctly) in the past.

Do I need to turn on something or change a configuration so the user can type a option-n followed by an n to lget an enyay on the mac?

I believe if you take the following steps you will be good to go:

I make sure that this is in the head of all my HTML pages (easiest place to put it is in a PageWrapper component)

<meta http-equiv = "Content-Type" content = "text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

This should be in your properties file:

# Project Encoding
package.name.Application.setDefaultMessageEncoding=true
er.extensions.ERXApplication.DefaultEncoding=UTF-8


and I have this in my Application.java (it might be redundant after setting the properties, you'd have to check)

        // to have the web pages display foreign characters
        private boolean enableUTFEncoding = false;

        public void enableUTFEncoding() {
                enableUTFEncoding = true;
                WOMessage.setDefaultEncoding(_NSUtilities.UTF8StringEncoding);
        }
