    support for spanish characters

      Hi,

       

      I'm developping a web application, and the default language is spanish. I use Postgres as DB, and when i restore some value of the DB (the database works in utf-8) richfaces doesn't show them in utf-8.

      For example: in the database i have "muñoz", and in a rich:comboBox is rendenred as "munñoz"

      order example is "bernadó", rendered as "bernadó"

       

      I fill the comboBox with f:selectItems, and the selectItem have the "correct" values (correct is "muñoz")

       

      First of all I think that could hapen for the page encoding, but if I put some spanish character to any component like outputText is correct rendered.

       

      At the head of pages I have <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'>

       

      Anyone know the solution???

      Thanks

          Hi Victor,

           

          I am another spanish richfaces developer. Had some problems some time ago with some characters, but was all facelets related.

           

          Please post some code snippets to see what the problem could be.

              Ei Juan!!!

               

              Could be of facelets because I use them. Code from what you want??

               

              The template look like this:


              <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

              <head>
                  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
                  <title>   
                      <ui:insert name="title">Default title</ui:insert>
                  </title>
                  <f:view locale="#{logon.locale}"/>
                  <link href="css/template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
              </head>

              ...

               

               

              and the web.xml

                Did you debug the application and checked that correct value is set in your object before rendering that f:selectItem? (for example: "muñoz" is the value just before obtaining the f:selectItems)

                 

                Do you have the correct encoding for you java source code (e.g.: UTF-8 in Eclipse or Netbeans)?

                 

                You mentioned before it 's working ok doing "something", please clarify how...

                  Hi Juan,

                  Yes, I debug the application and the selectItems have de correct value (muñoz or bernadó etc)

                  The encoding of Eclipse it's the correct, by the other hand the problems appers in developing and in real (exporting war file to tomcat)

                   

                  I try to obtain the title of some page from some bean, and I put at the title something like: "inici ñ" and it renders ok.

                  Other example is that at DB I have some value like "victor bernadó", and if i render it with outputText, is correct rendered.

                      thanks!!!!


                      already works ok, I try with the solution of myfaces + filter, but doesn't work. Later I try mojarra and it works ok

                       

                      Thank you very much.

                      Thanks to Juan too.
