Can't get Tapestry to work with UTF-8 encoding
Hi all,
I couldn't seem to make Tapestry to work with the UTF-8 encoding.
I am using Tomcat 5.5.12. As far as I know, the tomcat is setup correctly
because it has no problem returning UTF-8 responses for jsp and non-tapestry
HTML pages.
Here are my Home.page and Home.html.
Home.page
-----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE page-specification PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry
Specification 4.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_4_0.dtd">
<page-specification class="com.ttdev.HelloWorld.Home">
<component id="subject" type="Insert">
<binding name="value" value="greetingSubject"/>
</component>
</page-specification>
Home.html
---------------
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<p>hello <span jwcid="subject">world</span>!</p>
<p>中文测试</p> (harded chinese text here, but it shown up as garbage )
<BR>
TEST2
</body>
</html>
Besides the content type declaration in the files, the files themselves are
also encoded in UTF-8. But when I run the appllication, the hard-coded
chinese text shown up as garbage.
Am I missing something? What are the proper settings to create a UTF-8
application in Tapestry.
Thanks!
Galam.

Specifying the encoding in the *.application file doens't work (I've tried
all three encoding options below, none of them work).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry
Specification 4.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_4_0.dtd">
<application>
<meta key="org.apache.tapestry.output-encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
<meta key="org.apache.tapestry.messages-encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
<meta key="org.apache.tapestry.template-encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
</application>
The only thing that works is by passing the "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" option
to the java.exe in the catalina startup script.

I specify the option in WEB-INF/tapestry.application. I see you
already wrote that this didn't work for you ... don't know what to
tell you! It works for me.

Hi Paul,
Can you tell me where you specify the following options?
<DEFANGED_meta key="org.apache.tapestry.template-encoding"
value="utf-8"/>
I would like to give it a try. Also, where can I find a complete of
<DEFANGED_meta...> keys for Tapestry 4?
Thanks!
Galam.

This option works for me:
<meta key="org.apache.tapestry.template-encoding" value="utf-8"/>
This has the advantage that you don't need control over the startup
params of the container's JVM.

Hi Sam,
Thank you so much for the quick response.
The jvm option "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" works perfectly!

If you take dojo out of the page entirely, but serve it from the exact
same location, does it work correctly? I had some wierd issues with
the way java uses the default charset of the jvm when reading a file,
so even if tomcat (or any other java app) is set to handle utf-8,
things can still get garbled when a file gets read by the jvm if the
charset for the input stream is not set explicitly and the default
charset of your jvm is not utf-8. The only way to set the default
charset (which is the only charset that gets used if you don't set a
charset in all readers and writers explicitly) is to set a system
property at the time that the jvm starts up. You cannot modify it
once the jvm is running. Generally, you just pass a -D option to java
when you run it:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
Try doing this (if you are running tomcat, just put this in an
environment variable called JAVA_OPTS before starting tomcat):
csh:
setenv JAVA_OPTS "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
bash:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
and see if it doesn't fix your problem.
