Steve,
We have a similar requirement in that everything stored in the DB has to
UTF-8. Well, to address this we have written an UTF-8 Filter which
implements the Filter interface. All you need to do there is set the
character encoding to UTF8. The class looks like this...
public class UTF8Filter implements Filter {
/**
* default constructor
*/
public UTF8Filter() {
super();
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see javax.servlet.Filter#init(javax.servlet.FilterConfig)
*/
public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
// this doesn't need to do anything
//
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see javax.servlet.Filter#doFilter(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,
javax.servlet.ServletResponse, javax.servlet.FilterChain)
*/
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res,
FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// set the encoding to UTF-8 on the request
//
req.setCharacterEncoding(IProcessor.UTF_8_ENCODING);
// pass the filter along the chain
//
chain.doFilter(req, res);
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see javax.servlet.Filter#destroy()
*/
public void destroy() {
// this doesn't need to do anything
//
}
}
In your web.xml define this filter and make sure all your request go through
this filter.
<filter>
<filter-name>UTF8Filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>uk.co.limehouse.publisher.struts.UTF8Filter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>UTF8Filter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Hope this helps...

I think this might be a similar question to one I asked recently and the
following helped me

It is a lack of agreed standard problem. You can force Tomcat to use
UTF-8 encoding by setting the URIEncoding parameter on the connector.
There are some other parameters that you can set as well. See
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/http.html

Using link in this mail from the tomcat user maiIing list I have changed my
connector settings to:
<Connector port="8080"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
<Connector port="8443"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
That is I have added URIEncoding="UTF-8" and characters are now decoded
correctly.
