URLDecode.decoder question

[Billy Ng <kw...@earthlink.net>]

Hi folks,

If I use HttpSerlvetRequest.getParameter() to get a value, the value will be decoded right.  However, if I use Struts' form.getWhateve() method, the value is not decoded.  Is Struts using the getParameter to get the form value behind the scene?

I ask this because I just want to make sure I won't double decode the values.

Hi Billy, 

What you could do is write your own BaseForm.java and in the reset()
method
Include the following:

Public void Reset (...) {
	
	Super.reset (mapping, request);

	Try {
	// setting the character encoding here is very important
	// to overcome the problem regarding to the Tomcat server.
	request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
	}
	catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ex) {
	}
}

That should do it, as it works just fine in my project.

Hope this helps,
