Hi Robin, This is the exact fix as per the installation instructions:
http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=152 === You also need to alter Tomcat's default configuration to support searching and browsing of multi-byte UTF-8 correctly. You need to add a configuration option to the <Connector> element in [tomcat]/config/server.xml: URIEncoding="UTF-8"e.g. if you're using the default Tomcat config, it should read: <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --><Connector port="8080" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" /> === So you should be safe.

We have an author whose name contains an umlaut "König". The name displays fine in the list of authors but is displayed incorrectly when the author is selected - "König". The problem appears to be that the name is passed as a parameter in an encoded URL and is not being correctly decoded when it reaches the servlet (ItemsByAuthorServlet). I can fix the problem by adding parameter URIEncoding="UTF-8" to the correct place in Tomcat's Server.xml file, but a global change like this leaves me a bit nervous about what other unforseen effects this may have. This is happening on Windows and Unix (Solaris), Dspace 1.3.2. I am sure someone else must have encountered this problem, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
