About accents and pages.xml

[santiagopaz]

Hello, I dont speak english very well, I will try to do my best about this question:

I have my pages.xml where I define the page flow, I added this line:

   ....

    <page view-id="/facElectronica/activarFactura.xhtml" login-required="true" >
        <begin-conversation join="true"/>
        <navigation from-action="#{facElectronicaBean.continuar}">
            <rule if-outcome="SUCCESS">
                <end-conversation before-redirect="true"/>
                <redirect view-id="/comun/exitoTemplate.xhtml">
                    <param name="titulo" value="Factura Electrónica" />
                </redirect>
                ....

When I receive the string 'SUCCESS' I redirect to 'exitoTemplate.xhtml', and I send the text 'Factura Electrónica' as a URL parameter. (It's for the title that change dinamically).

The 'exitoTemplate.xhtml' look like this:

    ....

    <ui:define name="body">
        <h:form prependId="false">
            <table id="mainContent" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                <tr>
                    <td class="agnt_OrangeText">#{exitoBean.titulo}</td>
                </tr>

    ....

The exitoBean is a Bean where the titulo is saved and displayed.

The problem is that, when 'exitoTemplate.xhtml' is rendered on the browser, it does not show the correct characters, it look like this:

Factura Electrónica

instead of

Factura Electrónica

I adjusted my codification with Netbeans ( Properties -> Sources -> Encoding ) as 'UTF-8' but it still doesn't work.

Any help? Hope you can understand me, thanks a lot.

Im sorry, this is the flow for 'exitoTemplate.xhtml' that it is in the pages.xml:

    <!-- Pagina generica de "Operacion exitosa" -->
    <page view-id="/comun/exitoTemplate.xhtml" conversation-required="false" login-required="true">
        <param value="#{exitoBean.titulo}" name="titulo"/>
        <navigation from-action="#{exitoBean.aceptar}">
            <redirect view-id="#{exitoBean.toPage}">
                <param name="titulo" value="#{exitoBean.titulo}"/>
            </redirect>
        </navigation>
    </page>

Hi Santiago,

Check the encoding of the response with Firebug or similar tool (the encoding in the webpage is indicated in the Content-Type response header, it should be text/html;charset=UTF-8).

Also check that the encoding is correct in your XML and XHTML files (not only on your editor, but also use the proper XML directive:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If the encoding in the response is not UTF-8, check that you are setting it correctly. You can set the reponse encoding by adding a meta tag to your main JSF template:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

If none of this works, you can always use the HTML entity definition: ó should give you the accented o.

Thanks for your answer, anyway, I solved by another way.

Bye and thank you.
