Hi! I know this question was asked a month ago, but the thread ended without a real solution to the problem.
The problem in short: Form data with special chars (i. e. german umlauts) is not encoded correctly in the FormValidatorAction. The suggested solutions were: 1) set UNIX: LOCALE=... 2) set JVM -Dfile.encoding option 3) set request.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8") I think 1 and 2 are more than dirty hacks, and they don't work for me. 3 also didn't work. I guess it's quite clear because it should be executed before any request parameter are read. In the sitemap examples (which I used for my tests) the FormValidatorAction is processed befor any of my xml/xsp files were touched. I guess the best solution is a parameter passed to the FormValidatorAction which specifies the encoding type of the form data. Or has anyone a working solution for this?
