Hello, I'm using a recent developer version of cocoon 2.1 (Jan 9 2003), tomcat 4.1.12 on SuSE Linux 8.0 Kernel 2.4.20, and I found a problem with parsing the request parameters from a GET request:
The browser (both Mozilla and IE) sends them as UTF-8, but cocoon interprets them as ISO-8859-1. The problem can be seen e.g. with form validator: if you enter a non-ASCII7 character, and there is something not correct for the form validator within ANOTHER field, you get the first field back changed. I have enabled "container-encoding" and "form-encoding" in web.xml, and set both to "utf-8", but with no success (no change in behaviour). 1) Can someone help? I looked at the source, too: org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.HttpRequest There are getCharacterEncoding() and setCharacterEncoding(). Whereas get...() is mapped to the servlet engine function, set...() seems to be implemented within cocoon. In my experiments a call to set...("UTF-8") directly before reading the parameters within a flow script didn't work, either. (no change) get...() always returned null. 2) Can someone explain the idea of the set...() function, in combination with decode(), i.e. why that should work? Or: what should be done to get it work? 3) Why doesn't get...() return the value that was set before with set...(), i.e. why is the servlet value returned, whereas the cocoon internal value seems to be used?
