Yep, I have that in the header and still the same problem. It's one
thing or the other. Either the values from the database display
correctly on the page, but values added from forms do not display
correctly on the page but as â¬, or values from the database
display as '?' and values added from the forms DISPLAY correctly on
the page, but get added to the database as â¬. Depends on whether
I override the dispatchRequest() or not, and neither of the above
situations are useful. If anyone fancies having a look at the page
online to see what I mean, please let me know and I'll send you a
link. It's driving me absolutely crazy.
Regards,
David.

I never tried wo5* with other languages. Wondering who have any
experiences with utf-8, say Chinese or Russian?

Subject: UTF8 and ContentEncoding
Hi all,
I have the following situation:
A database with all tables specified to default to UTF8 encoding.
Adaptor URL containing useUnicode=true&setContentEncoding=UTF8
A record in one table that holds the € currency symbol.
I am loading a WOComponent page to edit values etc., using a form.
Everything was fine and one day all the € symbols started appearing
as '?'. Clearly something changed somewhere on the server but I
don't know what. Anyway, the €msymbols that are appearing this way
are displayed by using a WOString. The value it displays is from
defaultCountry which is a variable of type COUNTRY loaded from the
database and stored in the Session class.
€ symbols that were entered on the form, when added to a display
group for example, would appear as â¬.
I've had a look around and what I found was this suggestion:
Put this in Application class:
public void takeValuesFromRequest(WORequest r, WOContext c) {
r.setDefaultFormValueEncoding("UTF8");
super.takeValuesFromRequest(r,c);
}
public void appendToResponse(WOResponse r, WOContext c) {
r.setContentEncoding("UTF8");
super.appendToResponse(r,c);
r.setHeader("text/html;charset=utf-8", "Content-Type");
}
Which I did. It helped to a certain extent. It seemed to fix the
problem with the form values, which now displayed correctly, but the
'?' still appears where the value is displayed with WOString. Then
I found another suggestion:
Put this in Application class:
public WOResponse dispatchRequest(WORequest aRequest) {
aRequest.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");
WOResponse aResponse = super.dispatchRequest(aRequest);
aResponse.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");
return aResponse;
Doing this solved the problem of the '?' but reverted the form
values to display as â¬.
No matter what I do, there doesn't seem to be a way to get them both
to display correctly. Any ideas?
Regards,
David.
