MyFaces + Spring Webflow + UTF-8 Issue
--------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-1768
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1768
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT
Reporter: Michael Kurz
Priority: Minor
I ran into some trouble with Myfaces 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT in combination with Spring
Webflow and UTF-8. Even if all JSP pages have <%@ page contentType="text/html;
charset=UTF-8" %> set, special characters like umlauts or arab characters are
not displayed correctly in Tomcat 6. With Jetty it works.
I did some debugging and found out that the charcter encoding of the
ExternalContext is set in the restore view phase of JSF. BUT: Spring webflow
adds a phase listener that reads request parameters before restore view. When
the character encoding is not set correctly at this time (what seems to be the
case with tomcat) strings get messed up. The problem can be easily solved with
a servlet filter or a phase listener that sets the character encoding of the
ExternalContext to UTF-8 before the Spring Webflow phase listener reads the
request parameters.
Nevertheless I would be interested if this is a bug and what piece of my chain
is buggy. MyFaces, Webflow or Tomcat for obviously not setting the character
encoding specified in the page. One thing seems to be clear: the character
encoding must somehow be set before the Webflow phase listener is executed.
