Subject: Character encoding for form submissions
I've been researching this for a while.
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.18, and struts 1.0.2.
My app is successfully handling Unicode characters -- in all the actions,
stored in the database, displayed on the HTML pages, using charset=UTF-8.
But the only way I can find to get form data into Unicode in my form bean
is by manually transcoding the UTF-8 strings that come in into Unicode.
I'm led to believe that adding a filter to my app that calls
ServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") will automatically transcode
the form data (from POST) into Unicode. I can set breakpoints in
the filter and see that setCharacterEncoding() is being called, and
breakpoints in my form to see that the UTF-8 string from the form is
being set untouched.
What's the deal? Is it really necessary to add conversion code to all of
my form beans?
Cheers,
Mojo

Thanks Chakradhar, but that's where I got the filter to do
setCharacterEncoding(). I thought with that set Tomcat would convert the
strings to Unicode before setting them in my form beans, but it doesn't.
Like I said, I see the filter being called, and no different behavior.
