Issue reading package.properties value
Facing some issue, while we use wildfly-deploy maven plugin to deploy strut2 application to wildfly aka jboss 7, struts2 is unable to read package.properties file packaged inside .war. If i deploy from an IDE or manually then there is no issue. The only difference is wildfly-deploy plugin is deploying application war inside {WILDFLY_HOME}/standalone/data/ folder where as manual or IDE will deploy it under {WILDFLY_HOME}/standalone/deployments/ folder. In essence struts2 unable to read package.properties file if deployed under certain location. Any thoughts, application is working perfectly except label's are not coming only label key is coming in screens. -- Thanks Regards Sreekanth S Nair
printing mathematical special characters
I have mathematical symbols e.g. *alfa*, *beta*,*mu* . When I copy these symbols in text area they are getting copied. I am copying them from word document. When I insert them into the database using prepared statement the symbols are getting inserted as code. for example the *alfa* is getting stored as#946;. This is fine I guess. But when I retrieve them from the database using java.sq.Statement and displaying them in the html page they are getting displayed as code instead of symbol. I mean #946; is displayed in html instead displaying alfa symbol. So how to deal with this situation? how can I store symbols and display them properly in html? I am using mysql database, java1.7,struts2.0 and tomcat7. *Thanks and Regards,* Muralidhar Yaragalla. *http://yaragalla.blogspot.in/ http://yaragalla.blogspot.in/*
Re: printing mathematical special characters
Ok Christoph. Thanks for your response. I found that struts is doing it. s:property value=name escape=false / helped me to an extent. *Thanks and Regards,* Muralidhar Yaragalla. *http://yaragalla.blogspot.in/ http://yaragalla.blogspot.in/* On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Yaragalla Muralidhar yaragallamur...@gmail.com wrote: I have mathematical symbols e.g. *alfa*, *beta*,*mu* .

Hello Yaragalla, you should now that disabling the default escaping can lead to serious security issues (mainly XSS : https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-site_Scripting_%28XSS%29). 2015-07-30 10:49 GMT+02:00 Yaragalla Muralidhar yaragallamur...@gmail.com: Ok Christoph.

Re: printing mathematical special characters
The fastest approach would be to disable struts encoding when displaying them (you can see docs of s:property /). But I would rather suggest to figure out where that encoding comes from. You might use browser dev tools to see how the browser submits it. Then you can use a debugger or logging to show them in the struts action and in your data layer. When you know where that encoding takes place you can search for ways to disable it. In our apps we enable UTF-8 encoding in application server settings an in the database to avoid such issues. regards, Christoph From: Yaragalla Muralidhar yaragallamur...@gmail.com To: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org, Date: 30.07.2015 10:31 Subject: printing mathematical special characters I have mathematical symbols e.g. *alfa*, *beta*,*mu* .

you should now that disabling the default escaping can lead to serious security issues Because of this I wrote: But I would rather suggest to figure out where that encoding comes from. And I mean to analyze the saving not the display. You should take care that those values are stored as utf8 strings inside database, not encoded.
