Crapola:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JETTY-958
I think I've confirmed that this is not lift. I added a non-lift input text
element to an existing lift form:
<input name="testthis" type="text" />
Then I use the following code, which I believe should be getting direct
access to Jetty's HttpServletRequest instance:
Log.info("testthis = " + (S.request.map({r =>
r.request.getParameter("testthis")}) openOr "not found!"))
And when I put a cedilla in, I get:
INFO - testthis = ç
Can you confirm that you're using Jetty? I also tried the flags listed in
the JIRA ticket:
-Dorg.mortbay.util.URI.charset=utf-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
But they didn't seem to do anything (it didn't crash, though). I'm not sure
if I specified those correctly for use with the Maven jetty:run command
line:
mvn -Djetty.port=9090 -Dorg.mortbay.util.URI.charset=utf-8
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 jetty:run
Anyways, this doesn't look to be Lift's fault. I know that's not a great
answer. I'm trying to think of whether there's a clean, simple way to "undo"
the bogus transform but I don't know enough about charset handling. One more
interesting thing is that if I change my log code to:
Log.info("testthis = " + (S.request.map({r => r.request.getCharacterEncoding
+ r.request.getParameter("testthis")}) openOr "not found!"))
I get:
INFO - testthis = nullç
Which seems to indicate that the character encoding for the POST isn't being
set. I tried overriding it:
S.request.foreach{ r => r.request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")}
and that seems to have absolutely no effect (in fact, I get the same "null"
log message).
