EntityQuery restriction not working with non-ascii characters

[rlopez.rlopez.cnc.una.py]

Hi everyone,

I have a project generated with seam-gen, I have an entity Departamento with a field descripcion and this field can contain non-ascii characters.

In the page DepartamentoList.xhtml, generated by seam-gen, I want to do a search on this field but I get no result, e.g. if I do a search with the value ÑEEMBUCU, when the page is rerendered that value is changed to ÃEEMBUCU, the Ñ is replaced by the Ã.

I hope someone can help me, I'll be grateful.

Probably, you want to set up UTF-8 across your environment, see e.g. this:

How to use UTF-8 characters like german umlauts or others in view pages

There are tons of such pages describing I18N in the environment but first I would check up and change Tomcat connector, cause I find this is the one missing in most cases. In tomcat config xml

<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" ...
   useBodyEncodingForURI="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
   ...

Hi Gabor,

Thanks! you solved my problem.

Other solutions can be found here  wiki://18233 and there is a bug open here, that explains what was my problem, I use h:inputText and I tried adding this line to components.xml but it didn't work.

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

Thanks a lot again.
