Hello fellow Tomcatists, It is time for my web app to move beyond the confines of the A-B-Cs. This app takes user input from web forms, stores it in various fields in a database, and then displays it back in various ways. The goal is to have it so that a user can enter Japanese or other Asian language chars into the form in his browser, the web app stores the form input in the db, and later on, displays it back to the browser and the chars show up the right way.
It seems like this should be easy. Java is designed for multibyte, and I think Postgres can also store multibyte chars, but I'm running into a block. My friend in Japan entered some chars into a form, and hit submit, and what was stored in the db were html entities. Then, when he displayed it back to his browser, it was a problem because my output code automatically escapes html entities, so what he saw was "&48832;" or something, instead of the ji he was expecting. Does anyone have some tips on this, or pointers to articles or books I should be reading about how to do this?
