messages-encoding problem for japanese in utf-8?
Hello,
Thanks for your help, here is my problem:
I have a problem localizing a tapestry application in japanese, a
translator has translated all properties file in japanese in utf-8,
so all the properties file are encoded in utf-8, opening thoses file
in eclipse or in a text editor that support utf-8 works great i can
see all japanese characters correctly. Then i set as specified in
the docs the property ' <property
name="org.apache.tapestry.template-encoding_ja" value="UTF-8"/> ' in
my .application.
When i display a page in japanese i get cabalistic characters on my
web page like: 'Æ—…î¨Â Ã
‚¹ÃƑ‘ÃƑ¼ÃƑˆ' , but characters coming from the postgres
database display fines, the database is encoded in utf-8.
The output of my web pages for the tapestry application is in UTF-8
which is specified by default.
I have tried to set the property ' <property
name="org.apache.tapestry.messages-encoding" value="UTF-8"/>' in my
component or page specification but this still doesn't work i get the
same cabalistic characters.
I don't know if i have to do the same as for ResourcesBundle
properties file and convert them using native2ascii or do i have to
specify another encoding and encode my file in another character set?
I use tapestry 3 and here is snapshot of my .application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry Specification 3.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_3_0.dtd">

</application>
If any one knows please give me a hint?
Thank you so much!
Kind Regards
Numa

Your java virtual machine is probably not using UTF-8 as the default
charset. This is a common problem that isn't anywhere in any
documentation (at Tapestry, Sun, or just about anywhere else). You
can only change the default charset of your JVM before it runs. At
run time, your only choice is to explicitly set the charset for each
input and output reader/writer, which you can't do to the Tapestry
code. To fix it, you must set the system property file.encoding to
UTF-8. For tomcat users, you can do that by defining a variable
called JAVA_OPTS in your shell and setting the value to
"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
You can determine the default charset that is set up by your OS with
the following code:
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
public class charset {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(Charset.defaultCharset().displayName());
}
}

Open your .html file in a browser and check what character set it is in.
For example, in FireFox, choose View | Character Encoding to see which
one is selected. I suspect your file is not in UTF-8.

Thanks a lot for your answer, it helped me.
Here is my confusion:
- For T3 you cannot set messages encoding. Messages are java
properties that must be only in SO 8859-1 and therefor you must use a
tool like native2ascii to convert japanese text or the excellent
propedit
- For T4 you can set messages encoding and write your messages in
plain utf-8 no need for native2ascii
Thanks
Numa

I'm using T3 for Japanese, and don't set "messages-encoding".

Java properties files should be only ISO 8859-1 encoded, so yes, you just need
to use native2ascii or similar. I use the following Eclipse plugin to edit my
Japanese property files - it's much easier:
