Hello, thanks for your answer, but how can I do that the polish characters submitted correctly?
f.e.: character ę (\u0119). How can I convert this character to unicode. In the same way, that native2ascii do this. Is there any possibility? I use a servlet filter too. kind regards, Frank -----Originalnachricht----- Von: Joe Germuska An: Struts Users Mailing List Gesendet: 30.11.2004 17:10 Betreff: Re: UTF-8 encoding in html form > > Also note that Struts' multipart processing currently is rather clumsy > > in handling form encoding.

There's a specific chunk of code in CommonsMultipartRequestHandler which has "ISO-8859-1" hard-coded as the fallback encoding if request.getCharacterEncoding() returns null. I brought this up on one of the struts lists when I encountered it a few months ago, but didn't feel satisfied of a correct way to expose the value as a configuration parameter. My concern was making it clear that setting it would only impact the request handler, because any configuration name I could think of might lead people to believe that Struts was also taking responsibility for calling request.setCharacterEncoding(...). In the last couple of days, we've been talking a bit about possible changes to Struts configuration, and I think Martin has some pretty big plans for file upload handling in Struts 1.3, and this hasn't been a big issue for many people, so we'll probably let it float a while longer still. > > setting the request encoding with a custom command in a chain-request >> processor, but the request was still returning a null value in > > CommonsMultipartRequestHandler where the non-uploaded fields were >> being processed.

Next time I turn to the issue, I'll use a servlet filter. -- Joe Germuska [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blog.germuska.com "Narrow minds are weapons made for mass destruction" -The Ex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
