    JBoss, JavaMail and non-asscii characters

    greiezer

      Using the emailer application attached to end of this mail - I'am sending text/plain and text/html multipart messages containing non-ascii (danish) characters.

      When executed inside NetBeans, mails get encoded as expected.

      But my EmailerMDB uses exactly the same code for sending emails and executed inside the JBoss container produces incorrect email messages.
      Non-ascii characters are not encoded as expected.

      Does anybody know if there is some property that needs to be set at server startup?
      Or is there something else I have not been aware of?

      Regards

      Andreas

          To bad that nobody could give me some hints on my problem.

          Found the solution by my self:
          Had to set the encoding attribute for the javac ant task

          <javac
          encoding="iso-8859-1"
          destdir="{build.class.dir}"
          debug="{compiler.debug}"
          deprecation="{compiler.deprecation}"
          compiler="{compiler.type}"
          classpathref="project.class.path"
