If you don't have the following line in your html head, it definitely a source
of problem:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I never tried wo5* with other languages. Wondering who have any experiences
with utf-8, say Chinese or Russian?

Subject: UTF8 and ContentEncoding
Hi all,
I have the following situation:
A database with all tables specified to default to UTF8 encoding.
Adaptor URL containing useUnicode=true&setContentEncoding=UTF8
A record in one table that holds the € currency symbol.
I am loading a WOComponent page to edit values etc., using a form.
Everything was fine and one day all the € symbols started appearing as '?'.
Clearly something changed somewhere on the server but I don't know what.
Anyway, the €msymbols that are appearing this way are displayed by using a
WOString. The value it displays is from defaultCountry which is a variable of
type COUNTRY loaded from the database and stored in the Session class.
€ symbols that were entered on the form, when added to a display group for
example, would appear as â¬.
I've had a look around and what I found was this suggestion:
Put this in Application class:
public void takeValuesFromRequest(WORequest r, WOContext c) {
r.setDefaultFormValueEncoding("UTF8");
super.takeValuesFromRequest(r,c);
}
public void appendToResponse(WOResponse r, WOContext c) {
r.setContentEncoding("UTF8");
super.appendToResponse(r,c);
r.setHeader("text/html;charset=utf-8", "Content-Type");
}
Which I did. It helped to a certain extent. It seemed to fix the problem
with the form values, which now displayed correctly, but the '?' still appears
where the value is displayed with WOString. Then I found another suggestion:
Put this in Application class:
public WOResponse dispatchRequest(WORequest aRequest) {
aRequest.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");
WOResponse aResponse = super.dispatchRequest(aRequest);
aResponse.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");
return aResponse;
Doing this solved the problem of the '?' but reverted the form values to
display as â¬.
No matter what I do, there doesn't seem to be a way to get them both to
display correctly. Any ideas?
Regards,
David.
