German Special Characters incorrect display in JBoss AS 7.0.2

[bbfmsepp]

Hello,

we have an JBoss 7.0.2 Application Server and a Database with an encding AL32UTF8.

All words with german special characters were displayed incorrect. I set the -Dfile.encoding to UTF-8 we changed the NLS_LANG in the Registry (Windows 2003), but nothing works.

I also tried to implement it with stringvar.getBytes and convert it manually to utf-8.

But nothing works.

Wat also is interesting: When i use an SQL-Client on the Server and make an "select * from tab" it is displayed correct. But if i do the same on the client it is displayed also incorrect.

Can someone tell me where i have to search the problem???

Kind Regards

Have you tried setting the page encoding on your JSPs or in your web.xml?

{code:xml}<web-app ...>
...
    <jsp-config>
         <jsp-property-group>
            <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
            <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
            ...
        </jsp-property-group>
    </jsp-config>
...{code}

or

{code:xml}<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>{code}

We don't use JSP. We use Vaadin for our Frontend.

I don't know Vaadin, but you need to set your response encoding somehow.

An alternative is to use a servlet filter and use javax.servlet.ServletResponse#setCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String) or javax.servlet.ServletResponse#setContentType(java.lang.String).
