SOLVED: UTF-8 Problem with Tomcat 5.0.27 and POST
Hi, thanks to all who tried to help. In my case the fault was, the Character Encoding filter was not the first filter in the queue. The other hints: Setting the URIEncoding in the connectors and so on are useful as well. Sometimes you also must set the environment variable LC_CTYPE to something like de_DE.UTF-8.

Re: UTF-8 Problem with Tomcat 5.0.27 and POST
Sorry, I was off for a while. It seems my problem comes in with Java1.5. I am not sure. I tried to set it up as shown below. Solves the GET problem. I use a filter. Solves nothing. I set it up in the struts-config file. No effect. It seems that something in between sets the request input stream to i do not know what. I have no idea what to do next. Struts version? Debug Servlet? I have no idea. Regards, Bernhard Hi all, I desperatly try to POST UTF-8 data to an application using struts. GET method works perfectly fine, but post does not.

RE: UTF-8 Problem with Tomcat 5.0.27 and POST
Steve,
We have a similar requirement in that everything stored in the DB has to
UTF-8. Well, to address this we have written an UTF-8 Filter which
implements the Filter interface. All you need to do there is set the
character encoding to UTF8. The class looks like this...
public class UTF8Filter implements Filter {
/**
* default constructor
*/
public UTF8Filter() {
super();
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see javax.servlet.Filter#init(javax.servlet.FilterConfig)
*/
public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
// this doesn't need to do anything
//
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see javax.servlet.Filter#doFilter(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,
javax.servlet.ServletResponse, javax.servlet.FilterChain)
*/
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res,
FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// set the encoding to UTF-8 on the request
//
req.setCharacterEncoding(IProcessor.UTF_8_ENCODING);
// pass the filter along the chain
//
chain.doFilter(req, res);
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see javax.servlet.Filter#destroy()
*/
public void destroy() {
// this doesn't need to do anything
//
}
}
In your web.xml define this filter and make sure all your request go through
this filter.

Hope this helps...

It is a lack of agreed standard problem. You can force Tomcat to use
UTF-8 encoding by setting the URIEncoding parameter on the connector.
There are some other parameters that you can set as well. See
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/http.html

Using link in this mail from the tomcat user maiIing list I have changed my
connector settings to:
That is I have added URIEncoding="UTF-8" and characters are now decoded
correctly.

Re: Re: UTF-8 Problem with Tomcat 5.0.27 and POST
Hi Jimmy,
Yes, true. From my debugging I am quite sure, that the encoding
is correct, when the browser sends it off. When it arrives in the
servlet the contents is messed up. It gets decoded in between
the browser and the servlet. Struts always gives me the decoded
data. So I think, that some decoder interprets the data as ISO-8859
and I have no idea, which one it is and how to teach it, to use
a different encoding.
But from what you said, I assume that it is somewhere in struts.
Regards,
Bernhard
You dont really give enough details for your problem
but...
Maybe you have to decode the UTF-8 data.
URLDecoder.decode("","UTF-8") should
do the trick. Most GET requests are decoded before
the request parameters reach the servlet. POST
requests require the decode process.
Regards,
Jimmy Ray
