Bogus encoding in quoted-printable

[rave]

Hi there,

I'm experiencing troubles with charset utf8 in quoted-printable encoding.
All umlauts passed to the view (which actually is an email template),
get a wrong encoded in the wrong charset (iso8859-1) as soon as they are encoded as quoted-printable.
Example: können is converted to k=C3=B6nnen
It looks to me, as if the input is wrongly treated as iso8859-1 while it actually is utf8.

Any clue, anybody?

Show the template.

|<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<m:message charset="UTF-8" 
           xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
             xmlns:m="http://jboss.com/products/seam/mail"
             xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
             xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"> 
  <m:from name="no reply" address="[e-mail]"/>
  <m:to address="#{mailStatAction.email.recipient}"/>
  <m:subject>#{mailStatAction.email.subject}</m:subject>
  <m:body>
     <h:outputText value="#{mailStatAction.email.textHTML}" escape="false" />
    <f:facet name="alternative">
     #{mailStatAction.email.textPlain}
    </f:facet>
  </m:body>
  <m:attachment value="#{mailStatAction.email.attachmentFile}" contentType="application/x-zip-compressed" fileName="#{mailStatAction.email.attachmentName}" />
</m:message>|

mailStatAction.email.textPlain comes directly out of a message-bundle (utf8)

Ok, I need an example to reproduce, and an issue in JIRA. Bear in mind that I use a Mac Book with UK settings, so if I need to alter Gmail or Mail.app to show the issue, you need to tell me how ;-)

Ok, first things first; the properties-file "messages_de.properties" contains:

f_email_monthly_plain=Wenn Sie diesen Text lesen k\u00F6nnen, aktivieren Sie bitte das HTML-Format.

this property is read by an action-class (MailStatAction) like this:

String textPlain = messages.get("f_email_monthly_plain");

then putted into a helper object:

m_Email = new statEmail(recipient, subject, textHTML.toString(), textPlain, m_ZipName, attachmentFile);

and finaly rendered by the template above:

renderer.render("incl/email_template.xhtml");

Is this enough for you or do you need more specific information?

Hello Pete

I opened a new jira for the problem of Ramon (JBSEAM-3636), as we work on the same project.

Hope this is not a huge bug...
;-)

Greetings

Sorry if this is the wrong place to comment, my issue is not with seam mail, but I was just going to post something similarly to the Seam forums, so I'm commenting here:

Adding

<s:link id="myparam" value="utf8: Ø">
  <f:param name="utf8Param" value="Ø"/>
</s:link>

to an  .xhtml-page results in the link displayed properly HTMLEncoded with Ø.

The parameter OTOH is converted as if it was in ISO8859-1 to UTF-8 and ends up: utf8Param=%C3%98&

This is so, even when following the advice in the docs 16.1.3 to add a character-encoding-filter,
and also adding a meta-tag to the xhtml with http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8.

(Yes, I am randomly looking for a solution to this and am a seam/jsf beginner...)

(my environment is Debian Lenny, JBoss 4.3 and 5.0, but I have the same on RHEL5.2 with JBoss 4.2. Seam 2.0.2SP1 and 2.1.0SP1)

Sorry for the noise.

useBodyEncodingForURI="true" worked fine, it was just that I was using mod_jk, so I had to add it to the ajp connector as well...

Good luck with the real issue :)
