Re: textfield escapes name attribute

[Michal Ciasnocha]

Hi Björn,

I think it is general problem with naming attributes in local languages. 
Best practice for Java (and other programming languages) is use only 
some characters (that means a - z, numbers and underscore).

Why didnt use for attribute "stra*ß*e" its equivalent like "strasse"? It 
saves you much troubles :).

Note: Values are encoded properly because they are values and respect 
your local settings.


Best regards,

Michal
Hi group,

I am having some trouble with the textfield tag. We have java beans that use 
german umlauts as well as the letter 'ß' in some property names. To set the 
property in a from we use the textfield tag. Below is a snippet:

<tr>
   <td>Straße</td>
   <td><s:textfield name="location.straße" label="Straße"/></td>
</tr>

Problem is the rendered html page escapes the name attribute, which result in a 
null value for the property straße. Same goes for all properties that use umlauts. 
ö becomes&ouml; and so on...

<tr>
        <td>Straße</td>
        <td><input type="text" name="location.stra&szlig;e" 
id="LocationAction_save_location_stra&szlig;e"></input></td>
</tr>

However we can enter umlauts in a input field and have the value properly 
encoded in the property of the bean.

<tr>
   <td>Ort</td>
   <td><s:textfield name="location.ort" label="Ort"/></td>
</tr>

If we enter 'München' in this input field, we actually recieve 'München' on the 
server.

We use struts2 2.1.8.1 and the javatemplates-plugin. Tomcat  URIEncoding is set 
to UTF-8. Every jsp is encoded with UTF-8 and the headers are properly set.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
     pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>


Any ideas?

Björn
