Re: Character Encoding Error using new filters
I have set UTF-8 as the default everywhere - struts, tomcat, sitemesh. I had a small breakthrough. It looks like it's a 2.1.6 specific issue. I updated a development version to 2.1.8 and 2.2.1 and both worked fine. I now have to find time to test the updated version for unintended consequences. Are there any issues I should look out for in particular when going from 2.1.6 to 2.2.1? Z.

Re: Character Encoding Error using new filters
I did a quick look at the struts2.2.1 source code. It looks like the method [HttpServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding] is invoked by class [FilterDispatcher] and [StrutsPrepareFilter]. (You can use [Call Hierarchy] view to find out this information) In your old configuration, [StrutsPrepareFilter] is the last filter applied to request, so the encoding set by this filter will be used. But in your new configuration, [StrutsPrepareFilter] is the first filter applied to request, so the encoding set by this filter could be overridden by other filters later. In your case, it could be overridden by [SiteMeshFilter]. I suggest you to read source or docs of [SiteMeshFilter], check out if it changed CharacterEncoding and how to change the setting of it to use a correct encoding. 2010/10/18 Zoran Avtarovski zo...@sparecreative.com: I have a really strange character encoding error that is appearing when I attempt to change my struts2 filter configuration from: filter filter-namestruts-cleanup/filter-name filter-classorg.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ActionContextCleanUp/filter-cla ss /filter filter filter-namestruts/filter-name filter-classorg.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher/filter-class /filter filter filter-namesitemesh/filter-name filter-classcom.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.filter.PageFilter/filter-cla ss /filter filter-mapping filter-namestruts-cleanup/filter-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /filter-mapping filter-mapping filter-namesitemesh/filter-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /filter-mapping filter-mapping filter-namestruts/filter-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /filter-mapping To filter filter-namestruts-prepare/filter-name filter-classorg.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareFilter/f ilter-class /filter filter filter-namesitemesh/filter-name filter-classcom.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter/filter-class /filter filter filter-namestruts-execute/filter-name filter-classorg.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsExecuteFilter/f ilter-class /filter filter-mapping filter-namestruts-prepare/filter-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /filter-mapping filter-mapping filter-namesitemesh/filter-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern dispatcherREQUEST/dispatcher dispatcherFORWARD/dispatcher dispatcherINCLUDE/dispatcher /filter-mapping filter-mapping filter-namestruts-execute/filter-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern /filter-mapping With only this change when I enter a 'æ' character (and e together) it appears a A!|!

Re: Character encoding problems with Struts 2 and Freemarker or Velocity
Thanks a lot, that has sorted it out. I'm a bit confused as to why changing the default from utf-8 works though... Jonny Cavell wrote: I am setting default_encoding=UTF-8 in freemarker.properties, and leaving the struts encoding in default.properties untouched (i.e. struts.i18n.encoding=UTF-8). When I use a struts action to forward to a test page with Spanish text, without specifying the type (thus defaulting to jsp), it outputs fine. However, if the action forwards to the same page, but specifying the type as freemarker, the output is garbled. It is also garbled for Velocity, making me think that the problem must lie somewhere within Struts 2. Even if I subclass FreemarkerManager, override the createConfiguration method and explicitly call config.setDefaultEncoding(utf-8) here, and specify this class as the struts.freemarker.manager.classname in struts.properties, it makes no difference - the output is garbled.

Re: Character encoding...
Thanks for the reply Actually, we do use a filter setting the encoding to UTF-8, though I'm not sure if my problem is exactly the same as above. Sending a request form a JSP using ISO-8859-1 with POST method (no problem using GET method or UTF-8 on origin page) to either a Struts action or another JSP (with either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1, tried both) replaces my å,ä and ö with '?', even though I've set the Connector property (Tomcat as server) to UTF-8. So the problem seems to happen with the POST data in the request when going from ISO to UTF using POST method... having ran my head against this encoding wall too long now, I'm hoping to get some clues from you guys... /Riffla Christopher Schultz-2 wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Riffla, riffla wrote: And I guess that the form bean attributes is set prior to any code in the form class, so that you can't set the characterEncoding in the form class (at, for example, the beginning of initialize() method), or...?

I commented out the filter definition for ResponseOverrideFilter and everything displayed as expected. I then reinstated it, placing it *after* the SetCharacterEncodingFilter in web.xml, and all was still well.

After using web scarab at Josh's suggestion to eavesdrop on the conversations between my browser and app server, I've figured out what has changed between Struts 1.1 and 1.2.4: Struts 1.1 in spite of the the %@ page pageEncoding=UTF-8 contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8 language=java % directive, Struts was in fact sending back pages encoded in ISO-8859-1, and the resulting form submissions were URL-encoded (and decoded) in the same format. Struts 1.2.4 the directive is now being followed, and pages are sent out in UTF-8 encoding. However, for some reason, the form data is not being decoded as UTF-8, but still as ISO-8859-1. This suggests to me that if I were to remove the contentType directive in Struts 1.2.4, it would fall back to the default ISO-8859-1 encoding, and all would work as before: except that my web application would then be constrained to using only characters representable in that encoding. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All my pages are set to use UTF-8 encoding (via a %@ page pageEncoding=UTF-8 contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8 language=java % directive in my master Tiles layout), and this worked fine with Struts 1.1, with respect to data submission and display. However, since I upgraded to 1.2.4, data entered is now stored and redisplayed in its encoded form rather than its decoded form: i.e. été becomes été Most probably the browser is sending data in UTF-8 but doesn't say so with charset= in the Content-Type header.

Note: if you also use GET parameters encoded in UTF-8, with tomcat-5 you have to set `useBodyEncodingForURI=true' in the Connector or else tomcat will always consider it ISO-8859-1 (or you can force the URI to be always decoded as UTF-8, but I think this is more elegant and versatile that way). Ref: [1] this is very surprising, I can't seem to be able to find stuff in struts archives... for example, searching gmane archives with google with struts SetCharacterEncodingFilter site:gmane.org, I get only one answer; however, I verified that archives can be accessed on gmane by clicks only (no form post), so google should crawl them I guess. the search on gmane itself is extremely slow but gives answers. then, searching marc.theaimsgroup.com has similar errors with google: 0 answer from google, however articles are also available by clicks, no form post needed. and then it's even worse, searching for SetCharacterEncodingFilter seems to trigger a bug in their search engine, no answer is shown, only the list of all archives sorted by month -- Guillaume Cottenceau - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: character encoding
I'd like to hear how others have solved this problem. I can see that one solution is to replace the RequestProcessor and hardcode the setEncoding on the Request to UTF-8, or subclass the whole ActionServlet. Are there any cleaner solutions? I can't believe I'm the only one to have run across this problem! I'm not THAT unlucky! :) I am using a Filter (from the Servlet API) that gets the request before anything else in the chain and calls setEncoding() on it before passing it on. What would be great, just to get a little more consistency into this, would be if the html:form-tag would finally support the accept-charset attribute as specified in HTML4.01.

Carl-Eric, Yes, I tried the charset on the form but found it didn't do any good. But what do you force the Encoding to in your Filter? How can you know with any certitude how the browser encoded the data values before sending it to you?? It probably works well if the browser is setup to auto-select the encoding, but what do you do if they have it explicitly set to something other than what you are assuming? --- regards --- Larry At 12:07 PM 7/21/04, you wrote: I'd like to hear how others have solved this problem.

RE: character encoding
Hi, to get the encoding right the outgoing encoding (JSP-page) and the incoming encoding have to bet he same. You should define the enconfig of the JSP by: 1. Setting the content-type in the HTML Page META http-equiv=Content-type content=text/html;charset=UTF-8 2. Defining the contentType;charset for the JSPC [EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType=test/html:charset=UTF-8% 3. Defining The encoding type and charset of the form: html:form ... enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 The Opera and Firefox Browsers provide better informations about the content encoding than the IE. You should check the encoding in one of those. The browser may choose a different charset for displaying the page (and form) and you won't get UTF-8 data back. This procedure worked fine on at least two major projects.

It probably works well if the browser is setup to auto-select the encoding, but what do you do if they have it explicitly set to something other than what you are assuming? Then I'm out of luck. That's the biggest problem with Strut's lack of support for the accept-charset attribute. *Most of the time* it works that if you send the response in UTF-8 the next request will come in as UTF-8 too. That's what I'm doing now - I send out only UTF-8 forms and assume that I get the same back. It's an ugly hack, but the only way that seems to work at the moment. I asked a few weeks ago if there was any way for me to extend the form tag to support this attribute, or whether there is any good reason why it is not implemented. So far I haven't received an answer.
