There is another solution (when using Tomcat) which is independent of a system
locale - to use default ("UTF-8") encoding for cocoon's components and in
client's browser.
The main problem which I've faced implementing the "UTF-8" solution is decoding
request parameters. However it is easy to fix it just using Tomcat's filters
(see
<CATALINA_HOME>\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\filters\SetCharacterEncodingFilter.*).Roman Michael Mangeng wrote: > Hi > > thanx for your help but i´ve already solved the problem with the help of Jan > Uyttenhove. > My locale settings on the linux box had to be changed too. > > I´ve written this points together: (hope they help if sombody get the same > probs): > > -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- > How to use german umlauts on english *nix systems: > > Set *nix locale to de_AT (or de_DE): > localedef -c -i de_AT -f ISO-8859-1 de_AT > > Set LANG (system environment var) to de_AT (or de_DE) > export LANG='de_AT' > > Before starting Tomcat set: > $CATALINA_OPTS to '-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1' > > sitemap.xmap: > Use <encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding> in the according (e.g. html) > <map:serializer> tag. > > XML/XSP: > Use: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> > -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- > > greetings > mike > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "KOZLOV Roman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 9:17 AM > Subject: Re: Tomcat/cocoon encoding problem > > > Hi Michael, > > > > Did you set the proper encoding for used cocoon's components > > (generator, transformer and so on)?
