Hi all, Just wanted to have a short discussion on an issue that I wasted quite some hours on. Let me first explain that I configured my cocoon block with following two properties as per http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1366_1_1.html :
org.apache.cocoon.containerencoding=UTF-8 org.apache.cocoon.formencoding=UTF-8 Recently I created a form showing pre-populated data from an xquery. One form field contained the Ohm Ω character and the browser rendered if fine. But I had to post the data back to the server and the Ohm sign got corrupted. From firebug I could see following: descriptiveTitle N-channel 25 V 2.85 mΩ logic level MOSFET in LFPAK using NextPower technology magCode R73 specificationStatus Product From flowscript: descriptiveTitle=N-channel 25 V 2.85 m⦠logic level MOSFET in LFPAK using NextPower technology specificationStatus=Product magCode=R73 So next I started looking at cocoon sources using URLDecoder and I had a suspicion that NetUtils might be responsible for the issue. But that didn’t seem to be the issue. I managed to find out that the value I defined for formencoding is not actually used. The reason is that it also is set in cocoon-core and either it doesn’t get overwritten or the property from cocoon-core is overwriting my own property value. nxp10009@NXL01262 /c/development/workspaces/cocoon22/trunk/core $ find . -name *.properties | xargs grep "formencoding" ./cocoon-core/src/main/resources/META-INF/cocoon/properties/core.properties:org.apache.cocoon.formencoding=ISO-8859-1 So what’s the best way to fix this?
