Hi Today I resolved a problem with the enconding charset and I wish to share my experience to you.
I have an Open Blue Dragon installed with Tomcat 6.0 on Ubuntu 8.04. The problem was that I can't view the latin characters like "á" or "ñ" on any .cfm page. I changed the character encoding on the bluedragon.xml file to ISO-8859-1 without success. If I called getPageContext().getResponse().getCharacterEncoding() I received "ISO-8859-1" But I always saw "?" signs instead of the required characters. So, I thinked that the problem was related with a Java issue (because I already had a similar fight in my Eclipse installation) :) Basically the solution was to add a parameter into the java call to the Tomcat server. Just edit the /etc/init.d/tomcat6.0 file and put CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1" before the following lines # Define other required variables CATALINA_PID="$CATALINA_BASE/temp/$NAME.pid" After this, just restart your Tomcat server :) I read that this kind of changes can also be done in another file call "setenv.sh". If someone know about that, please tell me.
