Post request encoding problem
Hi,
in the project I'm working on we have the problem that when we try to
submit a form that contains german umlauts the string in the backing
bean is not encoded correctly.
All our sites are in UTF-8 an in the post request the parameters are
also send url encoded in UTF-8.
I debugged this and found out that the default encoding of post
parameters that tomcat (5.5.x) uses is ISO-8859-1, and this is the
reason for the wrong encoding. The only way to tell tomcat
to use UTF-8 is to set the enctype at the form tag to 'application/x-
www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8'
I have tested this with a header modify plugin with firefox that
overrides this parameter.
Now I can add to every <h:form> tag the enctype, but it does not work
for me, because JSF adds form tags itself when for example a
commandLink is rendered, an then the charset is not set.
At my point of view the cleanest solution would be, to override the
enctype that is defined in the standard-faces-config.xml of myfaces
(I use version 1.1.5).
So is it possible to override this value?
Another solution is to write a custom renderer for the form tag. But
I would prefer the first option.

Hi,
thx for the hint.
I found this today by myself and it solved my problem.

What about using a Filter for setting the encoding ?
public void doFilter(ServletRequest srequest, ServletResponse sresponse,
FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
srequest.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
chain.doFilter(srequest, sresponse);
}
