I am struggling to get forms displayed on a server -
UNIX machine running Cocoon 2.1.5 and JDK 1.4
(the same app works **fine** on the development
machine, running the same configuration, as well as
on a Linux server...)

The error message I get when trying to show the form
(filled with data from the database) is:

org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: 
Failed to execute pipeline.: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: 
org.xml.sax.SAXException: 
Attempt to output character of integral value 160 that is not represented in 
specified output encoding of .

[and no, there is no word missing just before the above "full stop"]

Based on mailing list and wiki suggestions I have tried:

 <form action=... method="post" accept-charset="ISO-8859-1">

also:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

in the form, *and* the stylesheet processing the form for display

also, in cocoon.xconf

  <jdbc name="pool_name">
    <pool-controller min="5" max="10"/>
    
<dburl>jdbc:mysql://YourHostName:3360/YourDataBaseName?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=ISO-8859-1</dburl>
    <user>database_user</user>
    <password>database_password</password>
  </jdbc>


NB - I am not trying to use any complex characters - inputs
should be "plain" English!

Is there a "Definitive Guide to Using Encoding" anywhere??

Thanks
Derek
