I will try the filter, and let you know -- I don't think that Struts is too
worried about
the encoding, while debugging, I saw that things go wrong much earlier,
"above"
struts, in the regular servlet layer on which Struts Action sits...
Well, you saw it using "getParameter" probably, which activates the
default iso-8859-1 behaviour if no character encoding provided. Now, i
know struts has a similar code somewhere to default to iso-8859-1 when
nothing else is specified
Thanks for the suggestion.. You know, it is really disappointing, that one
has
to do "custom programming" (filter) depending on what kind of a container
engine is
used - in the ideal world, this should just work for all different
application servers..
In ideal world it would have been defined in the servlet specs how to
set default chaset for post decoding :) In ideal world, browser would
write in their request header what encoding the request was made in :)
In ideal world, there wouldn't exist more than one, universal, charset.
In the ideal world, my pay would be bigger ^^
God only knows, what if anything I would have to do for Websphere, Weblogic,
Oracle server etc...
Thought top manager of those companies may be near to that position at
some point, i don't think God has anything to do with it ;)
Thanks for your help.
Alex.

As you might infer, URIEncoding="UTF-8" only work on the Uri part, and
thus affect only GET. The post is decoded using the browser provided
"content-encoding". Most borwser don't bother to set that header.
Behaviour of tomcat is to then use some default (ISO-8859-1). Best way
to ensure tomcat will use UTF-8 for post decoding is to force it using
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"), before any call to
getParameter(s). a filter or a valve might be a good place :)
btw, be carefull, struts (i see you use struts) tends to also have his
default behaviour when decoding POST :)

Hi there,
I am having some issue with submitting foreign language fonts in HTML
form
to Tomcat.
If I set up the FORM with method="GET" everything works just fine.
However,
when I use
POST, things don't work - I get garbled characters in my servlet from
the
FORM.
In the example below, I am showing the headers for both
GET and POST - the character being sent is a single lower case letter
"f" in
cyrillic.
************************************************
The POST method does not work - gives garbled characters - please note
that
the mytext is PROPERLY ENCODED IN BOTH methods - GET and POST,
so I don't think that it is a browser issue (i think that my HTML is ok
too).

This is the request using GET - this works just fine - the servlet gets
mytext nicely decoded...

My HTML (rendered from the JSP)
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
/>
</head>
<body>
<form name="InputLanguageForm" method="POST"
action="/Inter/takeText.do" accept-charset="UTF-8" >
<input type="text" name="mytext" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Do it">
</form>
</body>
</html>
************************************************
This is the configuration of the Tomcat Connector - if I REMOVE
URIEncoding,
both GET and POST don't work any more.
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
redirectPort="8443" />
************************************************
Thanks for any insight you can give me here... I really don't want to
change ALL my forms to GET - there should be
an easier (and more natural) fix for this.
Thanks, Alex.
