---------------------------

             Summary: Karaf 4.2.8 installed as a service on CentOS 7 uses POSIX as the locale instead of UTF-8 like in 4.0.7
                 Key: KARAF-6695
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-6695
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: karaf
    Affects Versions: 4.2.8
         Environment: CentOS 7 Core

[user@hostname bin]$ hostnamectl
 Static hostname: hostname
 Icon name: computer-vm
 Chassis: vm
 Machine ID: f71a935b20b249c8bdfdbc7d0dfd0c99
 Boot ID: d4936791e0724265aa940fdfcf5e618e
 Virtualization: kvm
 Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
 CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7
 Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64
 Architecture: x86-64
            Reporter: Nate


I'm testing Karaf 4.2.8 running as a service on CentOS 7 using the karaf:wrapper feature. A problem I encountered is that in this new version, SSHing into the console and running 
{code:java}
exec locale{code}
returns POSIX as the locale for everything:
{code:java}
karaf@root()> shell:exec locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL={code}
. This is different from the locale of the user that the karaf server is running as (which is en-us.UTF-8 or something like that), and also different from the value in karaf 4.0.7 running as a service, the version I upgraded from (also UTF-8) and also different from running it using /bin/karaf-server.sh (also UTF-8). For me, this causes an issue when doing a svn checkout from a karaf feature/bundle, because the svn repository is in UTF-8 and Subversion can't deal with the client and server having different locales. I imagine there will be other issues as well with other programs I'd like to run from Karaf.

For now, I can work around it by manually changing my locale through an exec, but I can't really ask that of my end users. I feel like it's not really intended that Karaf runs under a different locale based on whether it's been started as a service or not. I also think this might be a regression. At any rate, even if it's intended, I'm hoping there is a workaround like a startup script I can edit so the locale is always UTF-8.
