[C2] request encoding

[Torsten Curdt <tc...@dff.st>]

Shouldn't the request parameters be UTF-8 encoded
by default?!

In our forms we need to use some German characters.
But the only way I can save them is to translate them
by myself.

   String p = request.getParameter("whatever");
   if (p != null){
    byte[] s = p.getBytes("8859_1");
    String value = new String(s, 0, s.length, "UTF-8");
   }

Shouldn't this be a thing the servlet engine should
take care of? (BTW: We are using Tomcat 4b3 right now)
Maybe by specifing the encoding within the html page?

C2 inserts by default:
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

I tried to change this in cocoon.xconf:

<map:serializers default="html">
  <map:serializer type="html" mime-type="text/html" src="...">
    <encoding value="ISO-8859-1"/>

...but this throws a ConfigurationException

Any idea?

I have had look... it must be

  <encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding>

Now it works...
