possible to include the set-encoding action into
the <map:action-sets/>-section instead of including it into every
pipeline.
fragment from cocoon/sitemap.xmap with the
additional map:act-element
<map:action-sets>
<map:action-set
name="employee">
<map:act
type="set-encoding">
<map:parameter
name="form-encoding"
value="UTF-8"/>
</map:act>
<map:act
action="Add" type="add-employee"/>
<map:act
action="Delete" type="del-employee"/>
<map:act
action="Update"
type="upd-employee"/>
</map:action-set>
</map:action-sets>

Subject: [SUMMARY] Encoding form
data
Cocoon does not support non-US characters when posting data to
the server.
Characters like è (e accent grave) are translated to two
strange characters
when checking the posted data.
iso-8859-1 is
the default encoding for Cocoon and it does support all
necessary West
European characters (thanks to Bruno for pointing this
out). You can
find out more on iso-8859-1 on
http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html
If
you need support for other characters you will need to replace
iso-8859-1
with UTF-8 which has Unicode support. More on UTF can be found
at http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html
When
you create a webform and post to a pipeline that has a request
generator
and an XML serializer you will see that posted data is not
correctly
presented. To correct this you need to add the
request.setCharacterEncoding method to set the encoding for the request
data. This method is captured in the setCharacterEncodignAction
action.
To use it simply add
<map:action name="set-encoding"
src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.SetCharacterEncodingAction"/>
to
the action component block
Then add this at the beginning of every
pipeline that catches requested
non-ASCII
data
<map:act
type="set-encoding">
<map:parameter name="form-encoding"
value="iso-8859-1"/>
</map:act>
Of course you need to replace "iso-8859-1" with
"UTF-8" if you need to use
that encoding.
Another important thing
is that you must make sure the data is sent out to
the browser with the
correct encoding in the first place. To achieve this
add the
encoding to the XML and the (x)html serializers.
<map:serializer
mime-type="text/html" name="html"
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.HTMLSerializer" pool-grow="4"
pool-max="32" pool-min="4"
logger="sitemap.serializer.html">
<buffer-size>1024</buffer-size>
<encoding>iso-8859-1</encoding>
</map:serializer>
This
should do it!
Have fun.
