Yes, ISO-8859-1 is the default behaviour.
Now I tried to set 'container-encoding' (init-parm in cocoon's web.xml) to UTF-8
You must not set this, this has to be ISO-8859-1.
and 'form-encoding' (init-parm in cocoon's web.xml) to UTF-8
This is the correct one to change the behaviour.
but it seems to have no effect.
I don't know exactly if the access from JSP to the request object directly the above configuration has effect or if it is just for Cocoon internally. You can test it for example using the RequestGenerator.
In addition before and after calling
'request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");'
the method 'request.getCharacterEncoding();'
always returns 'null' - strange isn't it
Before: No, that's not strange. That's a known behaviour of all recent browsers, they don't set the header.
The java class behind the request seems to be 'org.apache.cocoon.components.jsp.JSPEngineServletRequest'
After: Yes, that's strange. Looking at the source [1], last method, you see that the encoding is not set in the wrapper. I don't know why it was done that way. Maybe because for avoiding wrong settings. I.e. when setting only 'form-encoding' correctly it maybe works and with setting it via setCharacterEncoding() you might break it again.
Please help me, is there any other parameter, which I have overlooked for reading UTF-8 endoded form values.
No, probably only one to much :)
