http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27702 MultipartPost values cannot contain latin1 characters when server is running on linux Summary: MultipartPost values cannot contain latin1 characters when server is running on linux Product: Struts Version: Nightly Build Platform: PC URL: http://http:// OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: File Upload AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SYMPTOM: Take a Multipart Post form, enter latin1 characters (tested with german umlauts) and submit. Works if server is running on windows. If server is running on Linux umlauts are replaced with '?'. REASON: in CommonsMultipartRequestHandler.java 450 try { 451 value = item.getString(request.getCharacterEncoding()); 452 } catch (Exception e) { 453 value = item.getString(); 454 } for some reason getCharacterEncoding() is null, so struts uses value = item.getString(); this function is using the default character encoding of the platform. On windows it is 8859-1 which is also the default encoding for HTTP so this works more or less by accident. If tomcat is running on other platforms, like Linux it is not. SOLUTION: if no encoding is given, use ISO-8859-1, not platform-dependent encoding. EXAMPLE: Working patch: 448 try { 449 value = item.getString(request.getCharacterEncoding()); 450 } catch (Exception e) { 451 try { 452 value = item.getString("ISO-8859-1"); 453 } catch (java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException uee) { 454 value = item.getString(); 455 } 456 } Cheers! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
