Hi Derek,
I encountered encoding problems here and there in java for a long time,
because the JVM could not be enabled to use UTF-8 correctly because the
underlying libc is not UTF-8 (or any other encoding) aware, expecially
on Linux/*nix machines.
Since you are having this problem on a certain server, are you sure the
JVM in that server is able to actually read/write UTF-8? you could write
a very simple class with a main which loads or writes a file and/or to
screen in UTF-8, and see if the JVM itself properly handles the UTF-8
encoding.
On older linux distributions (Debian potato, RedHat up to 6) you had to
generate the locales, on modern linux distributions setting LC_ALL and
LANG environment variables to, say, en_GB.UTF-8 tells the system which
encoding is the default one. I don't know how the unix on that server
handles this.
Not sure this is your case, but it worth a try.
Regars,
Simone

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&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
