Hi everyone!
I joined this list in hope of that someone can help me with this problem:
Is there a way to use UTF-8 when reading from form fields with
multipart/form-data format? (I'm using Apache commons
ServletFileUpload so that's why I'm asking on this mailing list.)
I've searched the web for answers and though this seems to be a well
known problem, I haven't found any solution to it.
I have to have a multipart/form-data form because I want the users to
be able to save their names and birthdate on the same jsp page as
where they can upload a (cv) file, so I have to find a solution.
My jsp page has the meta tag attribute charset="UTF-8", the form has
the attribute accept-charset="UTF-8" and in the servlet which receives
this request I do a:
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
but none of those things seem to help.
I also tried using the setHeaderEncoding method of the
ServletFileUpload class but that didn't help either. I still receive
Swedish characters as "weird looking characters" and that's not what I
want.
If anyone has a solution to this problem I would be Very grateful!
(Even if the solution means that I have to convert the strings I
receive in some way.)
Thanks in advance,
Ylva
