Hello Nick, my guess is (anybody else?) that there is a good reason for the ISO-8859-1 encoding. It is only used for some serializers (default is xml, the ISO-8859-1 is for exml). I am quite certain that you should not change it.
Are you running in tomcat (which version) or jetty? You might have to add the form-encoding to the web.xml. It must be utf8 there (not utf-8) : --------------------------------------------------- Issue: Special characters when editing documents in cms. Reason: special characters in documents were not being saved in the good format.So when the documents were published, the user sees a lot of weird signs on the product page. Cause: this is because when moving to tomcat, tomcat uses the specs for the configuration of container-encoding, which was not the case in jetty. Solution: change the container-encoding in the web.xml of the cms: <init-param> <param-name>container-encoding</param-name> <param-value>ISO-8859-1</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>form-encoding</param-name> <param-value>UTF-8</param-value> </init-param> --------------------------------------------------- Hope this helps. You really should not have to change code in the cms! I would recommend to revert your changes -Ard > Changing the serializer to UTF-8 solved at least our problem > with saving documents as the wrong encoding.
