utf8 problems...
Hi guys,
I am searching for a utf-8 problem in my app. I have struts 2 with
sitemesh 2.x bundled. backoffice is apache cayenne which connects to
mysql with:
&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8
Now I suspect sitemesh somehow. Any ideas were I could look appreciated
Is sitemesh still recommended btw? 2.x version is pretty old and 3.x
is in alpha for quite a while.
Cheers
Christian

FWIW -- I know Matt Raible's AppFuse [1] uses Spring's CharacterEncodingFilter.
The blog-post [3] is just lagniappe.

Christian,
this is the filter I was talking about:
public class CharacterEncodingFilter implements Filter {
private String encoding;
public void destroy() {
}
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse resp,
FilterChain chain) throws ServletException, IOException {
resp.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
chain.doFilter(req, resp);
}
public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
encoding=config.getInitParameter("encoding");
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>CharacterEncoding</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.dbi.norma.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>CharacterEncoding</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore IIRC struts2 usually takes into consideration the jsp page
directive, particolarly the contentType attribute:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; UTF-8" %>

Maurizio,
thanks for your suggestion. With your mail I have found the solution.

had not effect - it seem it was enabled already

This killed everything - layout gone :-) I needed to remove the
charset you put into content type (and used an attribute called
"encoding"). But didn't help
But then I thought about this:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
This was only in my decorator jsp page. But sitemesh expects this to
be in every jsp page. I fixed it on some pages already and it seem to
help.

Hi Christian,
I have been using SM in production environments for a long time now.
AFAIK 3.x is fairly stable though is still alpha.
The encoding issues are my nightmare :), you don't never know where
they come from.
The default encoding of S2 is UTF8, anyway to enforce the concept you
could always do:
<constant name="struts.i18n.encoding" value="UTF-8"/> (struts.xml)
<parser content-type="text/html;charset=UTF-8"
class="com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.parser.HTMLPageParser" />
(sitemesh.xml)
I usually start from a very simple example, then go ahead (does your
data display correctly without SM?).
How did you import your data inside mysql?
Ensure that your data was encoded correctly inside the DB itself:
select hex(field) from Table where condition;
As last option you can even consider a Character Encoding Servlet
Filter, but to be frank I never felt the need to use it.
