Hi everybody,
I tried to do a post about this issue in early august, but didn't get
any replies and I wonder if summer-vacation might have caused this. :)
I build up a form programmatically with different inputs, and the bean
behind it is in session scope. My problem is that after I submit the
form, and the view is restored, all the submitted values are displayed
with what seems to be UTF-8 encoding or url-encoding of some sort.
Let's say I have an input-text where the user should enter e-mail
address:
Before I submit the value is like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]". After submitting
and the page is reloaded the value displayed is 'myemail%40myisp.com'.
And a String like "Your item was successfully created" becomes
"Your+item+was+successfully+created".
I've been working with myfaces 1.1 for quite some time, and have never
experienced this. I started to dive into the problem, and I believe I
can conclude with the following:
If you use componentBindings and set the value of that component to a
"static" value, it works. But if you use componentBindings AND
valueExpression it doesn't.
To give a concrete example:
A java class Test which is in session scope, holds a property message of
type String public class Test {
private String message = "My test for encoding issues.
Emails are written like [EMAIL PROTECTED] ";
public String getMessage()
{
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message)
{
this.message = message;
}
}
If I have a jsp and use an h:outputText directly with a valueExpression,
it works - the message comes out just fine:
<h:panelGrid id="testPanel">
<h:outputText value="#{test.message}"></h:outputText>
</h:panelGrid>
But if I create a componentBinding for this outputText instead, AND fill
it up with valueExpression, I get the problem:
<h:panelGrid id="testPanel">
<h:outputText
binding="#{test.htmlOutputText}"></h:outputText>
</h:panelGrid>
public class Test
{
public HtmlOutputText getHtmlOutputText()
{
if(htmlOutputText == null)
{
htmlOutputText = new
HtmlOutputText();
htmlOutputText.setId("testText");
FacesContext context =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueExpression vex =
context.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(co
ntext.getELContext(),
"#{test.message}",
String[].class);
htmlOutputText.setValueExpression("value", vex);
}
return htmlOutputText;
}
}
If I use a componentBinding, but set the value directly it the
htmlOutputText, it works:
public HtmlOutputText getHtmlOutputText()
{
if(htmlOutputText == null)
{
htmlOutputText = new
HtmlOutputText();
htmlOutputText.setId("testText");
htmlOutputText.setValue("My test for encoding issues. Emails are written
like [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
}
return htmlOutputText;
}
Can someone explain this? An hopefully provide a solution as well? :)
I use myfaces-1.2.3. In the web.xml I have the following
encoding-mapping:
<locale-encoding-mapping-list>
<locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale>en</locale>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale>no</locale>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</locale-encoding-mapping>
</locale-encoding-mapping-list>
Best regards,
