Hi Jose,
I had similar problem with Tomcat, MySQL and ISO-8859-2 encoding.
I had to do 2 things to solve that problem:
1) set correct database encoding (MySQL doesn't support UTF yet)
That was easy to find.
2) correctly decode characters sent by the browser
The problem is that most browsers encode characters using
encoding that you specify in the page (for example using META
tag), but they do not send info what encoding was used
when sending that encoded data to the server.
If that information is not provided - server uses default
encoding, which is ISO-8859-1.
And at this point your struts forms may contain messed data.
To give the server some hint what encoding to use - try to use
filters. Look at :
SetCharacterEncodingFilter
that comes with Tomcat examples (examples/web-inf/classes/filters)
Very easy to use or extend to your needs.
It only checks if characterEncoding was set, and if not - it sets
the default encoding specified in the configuration.
That solved my problem.
