UTF-8 issue - Cannot render Japanese chars on Jboss/Solaris.

[kutts4u]

Hi

The web application has pages that are having Japanese characters. They are displayed fine when deployed on Jboss 4.2 on Windows XP.

But we get junk characters on the web page when deployed on Jboss 4.2 on Solaris 10.

We have set URIEncoding property in server.xml for HTTP and HTTPS connectors.

Have also set JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF-8 -Djavax.servlet.response.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in the run.sh

But still no luck.

Any ideas ? Do we need to set the locale in Solaris or any other configuration in Solaris ?

Where do you get junk? In the static part of the pages or in the fields?

I get the junk chars on the static pages.

The page are probably not UTF-8 encoded.
Check the encoding of the pages.
Check the content-type sent with the page (something like:
Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8) is it the same when using the windows server?

Have set the following in the jsp pages.

<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type"/>

Have noticed that the issue comes in JBoss 4.x deployed on both Windows and Solaris.

Issue does not occur when deployed on Tomcat 4.
