file.encoding

[apurrichus]

Hi, I am starting up the jboss server with

JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT

Checking boot.log i get (as i want):

DEBUG [ServerInfo] user.timezone: GMT
DEBUG [ServerInfo] file.encoding: UTF8

But when I made something like:

OutputStreamWriter out1 = new OutputStreamWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream());
System.out.println("Encoding ------>"+ out1.getEncoding());

I get:
INFO [STDOUT] Encoding ------>ISO8859_1

Someone knows how to change it? on my Windows enviroment is working fine, but now i am on mandrake an it fails...

Thanks...

Hi, I found the solution...

Edit /etc/profile and restart your session, after your UTF8 enconding won't affect you jboss conf.

# Environment Variables for IFX
LC_ALL=UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
LANG=UTF-8
OUTPUT_CHARSET=UTF-8
LESSCHARSET='UTF-8'
export LC_ALL LC_CTYPE LANG OUTPUT_CHARSET LESSCHARSET LANG
