Hi Jürg,
Great that it works.
Just let me add that non-ASCII character support seems to be a really
tough topic. As you write the best results may be obtained by using POST
requests and with multipart/form-data because multipart/form-data
parsing is controlled by Sling while parsing of url encoded form data is
controlled by the servlet container. And here we have deviations between
different containers -- for example Jetty uses UTF-8 by default while
others use ISO-8859-1 (as the servlet spec seems to mandate); and we try
to circumvent the Jetty issue with a hack.
If you could provide use with the browser name and version and the
servlet container name and version you use when encountering the issue,
we could record this situation to help out others in the future or to
even find an appropriate solution.
Thanks.
Regards
Felix

Hi Tobias,
_charset_ was good, though it did not do the job entirely.
I was pretty disappointed when I still had the klingon characters on my
screen... But I tried several things, among others setting the form's
enctype to multipart/form-data. Then, there were there... finally!
Thanks so much for the tip, Tobias!
Cheers,
Juerg

hi,
the FormEncoding parameter was renamed to _charset_ (see [0]):
so:
<input name="_charset_" type="hidden" value="UTF-8"/>
should do the trick.

Hi all,
This problem is driving me nuts...
I don't get UTF-8 Umlaute correctly into the JCR. I double-checked
everything to ensure the page is *really* UTF-8, and lately I discovered
the thing with the hidden "FormEncoding" parameter. But instead of
getting a clean 'ü', I still get something like "ü" (two byte UFT-8),
and additionally a string property named "FormEncoding" on that node...
Here's the JSP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] import="javax.jcr.query.*, javax.jcr.*,
org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource"%>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] session="false"%>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] prefix="sling"

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="<%= currentNode.getPath()%>"

<table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td>Titel:</td>
<td><input name="title" type="text" id="title" size="80"
maxlength="128" value="<%= currentNode.getProperty("title").getString()
%>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="FormEncoding" type="hidden" value="UTF-8"/>
</td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Ändern"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here what the browser sends:
POSTDATA=title=Hilfe+bei+Wetterf%C3%BChligkeit&FormEncoding=UTF-8
Any help is highly appreciated!
