[jira] Updated: (TAP5-539) utf-8 content in urls

["Grigoris Ioannou (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-539?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Grigoris Ioannou updated TAP5-539:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
When utf-8 encoded content is passed in a url, the url gets ugly.

For instance, urls similar to

http://localhost:8080/app/viewcity/Krak$00f3w-Poland-Europe/9584
and
http://localhost:8080/app/viewcity/N$00eemes-France-Europe/7196

are ugly and should appear as such:

http://localhost:8080/app/viewcity/Kraków-Poland-Europe/9584
and
http://localhost:8080/app/viewcity/Nîmes-France-Europe/7196

(If the urls are still ugly in the browser, the utf-8 content is still not displayed correctly. Click 'Edit this issue' and look at the description, you will see how it should be)

This behaviour was changed in some version I can't recall to provide better support for null and empty activation context parameters.

There is a Tapestry service, org.apache.tapestry5.services.URLEncoder, that does the activation context -> string and string -> activation context encoding. You can write your own and override the one used by Tapestry through the alias overriding feature described here: http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/guide/alias.html.

I guess Tapestry could provide an easy way to switch between the old and the new activation context encoding.
