param tag and umlaut

[hapacur]

Hi all!

I am looking for a way to deal with german umlauts. Take the open18 application for example. For pagination they pass the args via <param name="city" value="#{clientList.client.city}"/> in pages.xml. That does work well, but if you enter something like München then you end up with a wrong encoding on the page. The URL looks correct: ...&city=München&... but the next page displays the umlaut ü rather wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Just solved my issue. Just add the URIEncoding="UTF-8" attribute to the connector tag in server.xml. This works for JBoss AS.

Hi Björn,

seems that I face the same problem. However, I can't find a file server.xml anywhere. Can you give me some hint, please?

Kind regards
Christian

On JBoss AS 4.2, the file is server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml, on JBoss AS 5, it's server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml.

For information on the configuration options, see the documentation of Tomcat on which JBoss Web is based on (not sure about the exact version though).

Also you may have a look to JBSEAM-4330 about a specific parameter to encode requests in Seam (if your server default encoding is not UTF-8).
