Working with UTF-8 and problems with German Umlauts
Hi,
I have problems with German Umlauts when I enter the code below to my jsp
pages. The problem is when I for example I forget to fill a required field
and the previous values are restored after validation.
How can I fix that?
I use tomcat-4.1.24 with struts-1.1.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF8");%>
Zsolt

My problem was really, that my code was too late. After using a servlet
filter and calling request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF8") from the filter, my
problem was fixed.
Thank you everybody for the help.

I had the same problem in Greeks
The first steep is to follow the instructions below
http://www.anassina.com/struts/i18n
( If the page dos not displays tell me to send u via email )
The second step, if u use a database, to retrieve data to work on UTF-8
so database driver must support it.
for mySQL below 4.x use
String dbURL =
"jdbc:mysql://localhost/YellowPages?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8"
;
i hope to help u

Hi Zsolt,
you are setting your character encoding way too late in the game. By the
point you set it in the JSP as you show above, Struts has already read
the request parameters into your form.
A common method of setting the character encoding for struts is using a
filter, so the request is character-encoded before struts gets to see it.
