Hi Omar, Now, try to set the encoding in the lowest level; the Virtual Machine; Specify -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8 for the JVM Arguments.
It is not the only way of doing things, but it should work. - Nazir ________________________________________ De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de omar bilani Envoyé : vendredi 28 décembre 2007 11:51 À : Developer Objet : Re: [Mifos-developer] Arabic characters are messed up in MIFOS Hello all, while searching for the character encoding problem, the following needs to be chaged: 1) support UTF-8 in the html pages, in order to do that u will need to add the following jsp code in the header of the page: mainLayout.jsp, the code to add is the following: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> 2) change the encoding of the request at the java part.. this will be adding the following code: ServletConfig config = getServletConfig(); String encoding =config.getInitParameter("PARAMETER_ENCODING"); if (encoding != null) { request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding); } and u will have to add the PARAMETER_ENCODING in the web.xml file: <context-param> <param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name> <param-value>UTF-8</param-value> </context-param> I did this and added the code in the functions doGet and doPost in the class: Dispatcher.java the problem is that mifos dont use these functions in the normal requests. Any idea where to change the characters encoding? thanks On 12/27/07, Sam Birney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Omar, I don't have any idea about this particular feature. I can tell you that the current version, Mifos 1.0 is not fully internationalized. We are doing work now to complete basic internationalization (i18n) for the next release. Mifos is mostly unicode (UTF-8) compatible, but as you have found, there are still some spots where this is lacking. If you end up figuring out the cause of this problem it would be helpful to enter a bug in the issue tracker. Even better, if you are able to provide a patch that fixes it we would be happy to include it in Mifos 1.1. thanks, Sam On Dec 26, 2007 6:28 AM, omar bilani < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, i am trying at this stage to enter some arabic characters in the search text input "main page" and press on the search button the application is returning that no result where found for the search string: ؤؤ even though i entered two arabic characters. the encoding in the html page is UTF 8. i printed the values using an alert before sending them to struts and the output was the character that i entered. any idea why the characters are being changed? thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
