Thanks a lot for your explanations.
1) displaying
I tried to add res.setContentType(text/html;charset=utf-8); and it
worked : string coming from mysql are correcly displayed in the html
browser.
But since then, all my bundle resources (where I put translation strings
in utf 8) did not appear correctly anymore.
I found in PropertyResourceBundle doc that apparently the resource
bundle is always read in ISO-8859-1 encoding and it seems that you
cannot change (that except if you use xml ?). I suppose that the strings
where read incorrectly and sent incorrectly to the browser, the two
errors compensating did show a correct page before setContentType().
what do you suggest for strings localization ? the docs does not tell
how to use xml for resourcebundle... or how to change encoding for text
resource bundle...
2) receiving
the html page specify charset=UTF-8 in head content, and when typing £
sign I get C2 A3. I suppose it is utf8 even if not exactly the code you
gave. With that string the search succeed, but with the chinese
character 务 it fails.
I added character-encodingutf-8/character-encoding in resin.conf,
and it did some change (before that, the returned search string was not
equal to the sent search string). But the search still fails with
chinese char. Maybe this is an issue with amber/mysql ?
PS: I fill my mysql database with phpmyadmin which seems to handle
unicode utf8 quite well (better than me !).
If you have any idea, thanks for your help.

I have an utf-8 html form that searches in the database, and produces

I have 2 conversion problems :
1) displaying items
response.setContentType(text/html;charset=utf-8) may be enough. It
will set the response writer/output stream conversion to utf-8.
How do you convert a string to utf8 ?
utf8bytes = name.getBytes(UTF8) gives you the UTF-8 output. If you pass
that directly to response.getOutputStream() that should be it. Don't try to
convert it back to a String once you have done the UTF-8 encoding. If your
view is dealing with strings or characters instead of bytes, let the view
take care of the UTF-8 encoding. If your view is JSP there are page
directives for this. If your view relies or response.getWriter() setting the
desired charset in the content type should be enough. If your view relies on
response.getOutputStream() you need to take care of it yourself, buy you also
will write bytes to the output, not characters.
in the form I receive a string wich is encoded in utf8 by the browser,
but it is not recognized as utf8 by the server.
You may want to specify what character encoding your resin environment
expects http://caucho.com/resin/doc/env-tags.xtp#character-encoding .
Browsers typically return the form data encoded by whatever character
set the html document holding the form had, so if you present your form
in UFT-8 you can be reasonably sure you get utf-8 data back in the
submission. Just make sure you indeed have UTF-8 data in the form, with
a GET request the £ (GBP) character should show up as %C2%A9.
I cannot convert it to utf8 for mysql.
Let the mysql JDBC driver get the String, it will deal with any UTF-8
encoding internally by itself. Don't try to force it.
