      Hi,
      I have an encoding problem with JBoss AS 5.1 . There are encoding problems at my html's. The steps that I have done.


      1- Added <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> between <head> tags in html files.


      2- Changed


      <Connector port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}"   
           maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
           emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
           connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" />


      in jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml


      3- Added


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


      4- Added -Dfile.encoding = utf-8 in JBoss AS start JVM arguments.


      5- Set html file encodings as UTF8


      With FireFox, when I look Page Info, it points out its encoding is ISO-8859-1 and meta is text/html; charset=UTF-8 .


      How can I can ISO-8859-1 encoding type to UTF-8 ?

            Hi Piotr,
            The solution is not easy as you mentioned. All files are encoded as UTF-8 and I have added -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 in JBoss AS start JVM arguments. But I can not change JBoss default encoding type ISO-8859-1. The problem occurs  only for static content files like html in seam project.

                Thanx Piotr,


                However I set the workspace text encoding as UTF-8 before, after your post I checked again and saw that UTF-8 is set.
                I have no problems with dynamic pages like xhtmls. There are no encoding problems. The problem occurs only for static content files like htmls in seam project.


                I copied these htmls into the jboss/server/default/deploy/ROOT.war and saw that there was no problem. HTMLs can be hosted under root without encoding problems.
