3.2.0.GA chracter encoding problem

[mars1412]

after upgrading to 3.2.0.GA special characters e.g. german umlauts are not transmitted correctly to the server.

inputfield: "Ö"
server gets: "Ã?"

The only things I changed on my project are the 3 richfaces jars

any ideas/hints?

maybe I need to update some other jars (facelets) ?

jsf implementation of my server is 1.2 (reading the MANIFEST file in the jsf-jars)

[egalperin]

Is there a workaround? The bug is a blocker for us. We can't use RichFaces with broken encoding.

Any help would be most welcome

Why is an h:inputText affected when changing only richfaces jars?

This bug is really a blocker for us, because our internatinal users from spain, sweden, germany etc. can not even log in to our app. We have changed the richfaces jars in production back to 3.1.4
But our testing and development server does depend on 3.2.0

standard component affercted because as Nick already commented in bug - "That happened because of bug in filter. We're going to release fix for that in 3.2.0.SP1"

Richfaces 3.2.0, Myfaces 1.2.2, Facelets 1.1.14 work with umlauts correct. With jsf 1.2_07 had problem. Simple didn't work if the sites contained any umlauts.

i have the same problem and additional if i enter some special character in an inputtext that is in a datatable, the table is not reRendered.

I have still the problem, if i enter some special characters like german umlauts in my inputfield

for example in html:

&oml

this is also what the inputfield value contains!! there is no utf-8 character...

the inputfield is in a datatable column(footer) and i get an ajax/xml error(undefined entity), because the character is not utf-8 like:

error[16:01:57,475]: Error parsing XML
error[16:01:57,475]: Parse Error: XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: Undefinierte Entität Adresse:

</div></div>

<tr class="dr-table-header-continue rich-table-header-continue ">

<tr class="dr-table-footer rich-table-footer "><td class="dr-table-footercell rich-table-footercell " id="j_id8:voteTable:j_id106">
<input type="text" name="j_id8:voteTable:j_id107" value="&oml
" />

...

is there also a bugfix? i really need that...

Thanks a lot!

guys you sure you've using 3.2.0 SR1?

[smilidon]

yes i'm sure using 3.2.0 SR1, i also tried a snapshot. the problem only occurs in datatabe i think. i have the inputfield in the footer an add dynamic new rows to the datatable. i also get the xml error, if i enter "<" in my textfield.

[socken]

I'm having this problem again in Version 3.2.1.CR2.
3.2.1.CR1 works alright, can anyone confirm this??

[tkuprevich]

Hi Smilidon,

I checked that using the following example:

 <rich:dataTable value="#{customList.customList}" var="list"
 id="customTable">

 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="input"></h:outputText>
 </f:facet>
 <h:inputText value="#{list.s0}"></h:inputText>
 </rich:column>

 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="output"></h:outputText>
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{list.s0}"></h:outputText>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:dataTable>

 <a4j:commandButton value="AJAX" reRender="customTable"></a4j:commandButton>
 <a4j:status id="custonStatus" startText="In progress..."
 stopText="STOP"></a4j:status>

When i enter &oml it renders the same value after rerendering. Even if i use russian letters everything is fine.

Could you share your code please?

[sendewelt]

hello,

i discovered another problem with german umlaute:

<a4j:outputPanel id="xxx">
<h:outputText rendered="#{!empty
front.currentWorkflow.importFilePath}"
value="Datei"
id="selectedPath1">
</h:outputText>
</a4j:outputPanel>

in this case if the if the rendered property gets updated via ajax and all works fine, but if i add an umlaut
in value of outputtext e.g. change value="Datei" to value="Ausgewählte datei" the ajax update does not work anymore. the xhtml is encoded in utf 8. Noe errors in console.

br,

Andi
