Euro symbol
Hello,
I have problems with the encoding of the euro symbol.
I set the charset to UTF-8 in my page:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
I submit a form containing the euro symbol in a client account number
text field (typed in Internet Explorer in a Windows environment).
I set a breakpoint on
org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process() and check in the
eclipse debugger the org.apache.coyote.Request object which is passed
as an argument in the adapter.service(request, response) call:
encoding="ISO-8859-1"
content-type="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
and the following is the result of some expressions:
request.getParameters().getParameter("accountNo") prints an unprintable char
URLEncoder.encode(request.getParameters().getParameter("accountNo"),"UTF-8")="%C2%80"
That is not what I expect, since the UTF-8 encoding for the EURO sign
should be %E2%82%AC (correct me if I'm wrong)
This causes some trouble since I'll save the client account number
with a different encoding then expected.
Can you clarify this to me please?

A quick follow-up on david's comment
tomcat default encoding is UTF-8 unless of course you use an alternative jsp
compiler (such as jikes)
doc available at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/jasper-howto.html
Are you using an alternate jasper compiler?

Hi,
most probably one of those is happening
1) IE sends form in iso-8859-1 and tomcat decodes it in UTF-8, resulting
in wrong character
2) IE sends form in UTF-8 and tomcat decodes it in ISO-8859-1
Be aware that the charset of current page is not always used by browser
as the charset used to encode parameters when submitting form. One
possible way i know to prevent such problem is
1) set page encoding to utf-8
2) in the <form> tag add an acceptCharset="UTF-8" parameter
3) call request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") before getting your first
parameter.
