Hi Javier, I read about default encoding for using GET, but I’m actually ‘posting’ the form. I really am convinced that the only real issue here is that the formencoding property ‘org.apache.cocoon.formencoding’ is being set with the value from the cocoon-core block. I’m currently debugging the spring configurator and I suspect this will confirm the issue. Will get back on this today.

Salu2 2012/6/6 Robby Pelssers <robby.pelss...@nxp.com<mailto:robby.pelss...@nxp.com>> I did found a workaround by the way… If you add an extra request parameter called cocoon-form-encoding and set it to utf-8 it will work Snippet from RequestProcessor.java: protected Environment getEnvironment(String uri, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws Exception { String formEncoding = req.getParameter("cocoon-form-encoding"); if (formEncoding == null) { formEncoding = this.settings.getFormEncoding(); } HttpEnvironment env; env = new HttpEnvironment(uri, req, res, this.servletContext, this.environmentContext, this.containerEncoding, formEncoding); return env; } From: Robby Pelssers [mailto:robby.pelss...@nxp.com<mailto:robby.pelss...@nxp.com>] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 1:10 PM To: dev@cocoon.apache.org<mailto:dev@cocoon.apache.org>; us...@cocoon.apache.org<mailto:us...@cocoon.apache.org> Subject: issue with form encoding C2.2 Hi all, Just wanted to have a short discussion on an issue that I wasted quite some hours on. Let me first explain that I configured my cocoon block with following two properties as per http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1366_1_1.html : org.apache.cocoon.containerencoding=UTF-8 org.apache.cocoon.formencoding=UTF-8 Recently I created a form showing pre-populated data from an xquery. One form field contained the Ohm Ω character and the browser rendered if fine. But I had to post the data back to the server and the Ohm sign got corrupted. From firebug I could see following: descriptiveTitle N-channel 25 V 2.85 mΩ logic level MOSFET in LFPAK using NextPower technology magCode R73 specificationStatus Product From flowscript: descriptiveTitle=N-channel 25 V 2.85 mΩ logic level MOSFET in LFPAK using NextPower technology specificationStatus=Product magCode=R73 So next I started looking at cocoon sources using URLDecoder and I had a suspicion that NetUtils might be responsible for the issue. But that didn’t seem to be the issue. I managed to find out that the value I defined for formencoding is not actually used. The reason is that it also is set in cocoon-core and either it doesn’t get overwritten or the property from cocoon-core is overwriting my own property value. nxp10009@NXL01262 /c/development/workspaces/cocoon22/trunk/core $ find . -name *.properties | xargs grep "formencoding" ./cocoon-core/src/main/resources/META-INF/cocoon/properties/core.properties:org.apache.cocoon.formencoding=ISO-8859-1 So what’s the best way to fix this?
