Charset encoding problem in URL parameters

[rmemoria]

Hi all,

I've created an inputText field that is passed as a URL parameter like that:

In my page I have

<h:inputText value="#{materialHome.nomeMaterial}" />
<h:commandButton value="Search" action="/admin/materiais.xhtml" />

And in pages.xml I have

<page view-id="/admin/materiais.xhtml">
 <param name="id" value="#{materialHome.id}" />
 <param name="firstResult" value="#{materiais.firstResult}" />
 <param name="nome" value="#{materialHome.nomeMaterial}" />
</page>

It works fine, but if I use accents I get problems like this:

If I insert the work balão
After a post I get the inputText with the word balão

I also tried to include in components.xml

<web:character-encoding-filter encoding="UTF-8"
 override-client="true"
 url-pattern="*.seam"/>

with several variations of the encoding param

Any sugestion?

Just for testing, if in pages.xml I remove the line

<param name="nome" value="#{materialHome.nomeMaterial}" />

the accents are properly preserved in the inputText.


Thanks,
Ricardo Memória

Can you create a simple test case and post it on JIRA for someone to look at?

Hello
As I am concerned with the same issue, I tried with the seam examples. The problem exits with the example seam-blog (but not only this one) : If you search for the word balão, it will be transformed in balão.

Thanks for looking to this.

At least !

This problem is not a problem but a recognized bug.

Thank you mate.

This is not a bug.
The problem is with the URIEncoding. If you are using Tomcat or JBoss all you have to do is either set useBodyEncodingForURI="true" which will use your page's character encoding to encode URIs or set URIEncoding to whatever character encoding you are using for the tomcat Connector in the server.xml.
The default encoding is ISO-8859-1 for Tomcat if not set explicitly.

<Connector port="8080" .....
useBodyEncodingForURI="true" ..../>


<Connector port="8080" .....
URIEncoding="UTF-8" ..../>
