Given the OS and web container, the encoding settings for both will need to
be set to support Cyrillic character sets; also, if necessary, install
character sets (for the OS) for the language in question.
For example, in Tomcat, server.xml, Connector tag needs URIEncoding set to
UTF-8:
<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="600" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="10000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
Oddly, JAVA_OPTS might need -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
rather than UTF-8.
For logging, use UTF-8 encoding.
log4j.appender.MyAppender.Encoding=UTF-8
What OS is this running on?

Hi Oleg,
please provide the name/version of webcontainer which you use.

Hi,
I am new to JSF, trying to build prototype i18n JSF app with MyFaces 1.1.5
Mostly care about IE6/7, do not officially support other browsers.
I do have resource bundles, it is localized and internationalized.
So user is supposed to work in either English or Russian (and Spanish).
It all works except few issues:
1) When user enters something in Russian in inputText field on the first
page,
trying to pass it to the next page via managed bean.
But instead of showing it in Russian, it shows some garbled text in
outputText or outputLabel: Îëåã
FF3 & Chrome show it as: Олег [&#xxxx, where xxxx us
a 4 digits]
It does pick up labels from correct bundle on the next page, so locale is
changed correctly.
Actually, when I switch locale on the same first page, getting the same
problem (after it's refreshed).
Seems to work OK with Spanish.
Is that incorrect Cyrillic encoding, JSF encoding or broken Unicode or
locale?
How can we fix that ?
Less important issues:
2) When we switch locale (correct values in bundles), on the screen it can
not change currencyCode, currencySymbol, TimeZone,
it always shows the first one it picked, although dateTime and Number
formatting changes correctly;
3) In IE6 "alt" tag attribute produces garbled characters in Russian (black
vertical squares), looks like IE6 bug; FF3 & Chrome work fine.
Please help !
TIA,
Oleg.
