Hi David,

I can't really comment on most of your query, but I notice that the form in your JSP has the 'enctype="multipart/form-data"' attribute, but the equivalent VM page doesn't appear to have the same attribute. Might that be causing the difference?

After working on this for a couple days I've got some
new info:

1. clicking submit from the jsp and vm pages causes
request.getContentType()) to produce the following:

working jsp: multipart/form-data; boundary=...
broken   vm: null

2. velocity log shows the following:
[info] VelocityViewServlet: Default content-type is:
text/html; charset=UTF-8 but Action classes report
null as ContentType

3. Can fix the problem with:
OutdoorReservationForm outdoorReservation =
(OutdoorReservationForm) form;
      String raw = outdoorReservation.getEvent();
      String clean = new
String(raw.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");

But it would be too time consuming to do this on each
and every form attribute.

Any ideas on how to fix my velocity submissions so I
don't have to convert form attributes 1 by 1?
Cheers,

David

Hi-

I'm usualy pretty good at fixing encoding problems
but
this one has me stumped.

I made the following test pages that link to struts
action.  The jsp doesn't turn my UTF-8 japanese to
garbage but my velocity page does.
I'm using a UTF-8 filter in my web.xml:

<!-- Example filter to set character encoding on
each
request -->
   <filter>
       <filter-name>Set Character
Encoding</filter-name>

<filter-class>com.mydomain.coupon.filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>

       <init-param>
           <param-name>encoding</param-name>
           <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
       </init-param>
   </filter>

<!-- Example filter mapping to apply the "Set
Character Encoding" filter
    to *all* requests processed by this web
application -->

   <filter-mapping>
       <filter-name>Set Character
Encoding</filter-name>
       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Then I set the velocity.properties file to UTF-8:





#----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# T E M P L A T E  E N C O D I N G


#----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#input.encoding=ISO-8859-1
#output.encoding=ISO-8859-1

input.encoding=UTF-8
output.encoding=UTF-8
default.contentType=text/html; charset=UTF-8


Here are my test pages:
#Not working Velocity Page
$request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")
<html>
<head>

<TITLE>Velocity Test Page</TITLE>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;

Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated:
