Wildfly 15 ignoring encoding settings in standalone-full.xml?

[mfried]

Hi,

Out legacy project (currently running on Weblogic) uses ISO-8859-15 encodings, so I've got the following settings in standalone-full.xml for Wildfly 15:

<server name="default-server">
   <http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http" url-charset="ISO-8859-15" redirect-socket="https" enable-http2="true"/>
   <https-listener name="https" socket-binding="https" url-charset="ISO-8859-15" security-realm="ApplicationRealm" enable-http2="true"/>
...
<servlet-container name="default" default-encoding="ISO-8859-15" use-listener-encoding="true">

Unfortunately this does not seem to be enough, in the browser I can see the response header for content-type as "text/html; charset=UTF-8", which leads to all kinds of problems with special characters like german umlauts in my ISO-8859-15 encoded (thousands of them) files.

What am I missing, where is the correct place to change the encoding that wildfly uses?

Best regards

Mark.

Hi,

just a guess but I think you need to also set use-listener-enconding to servlet-container configuration to true.

/subsystem=undertow/servlet-container=default:write-attribute(name=use-listener-encoding,value=true)

You can also configure enconding directly in servlet-container configuration.

/subsystem=undertow/servlet-container=default:write-attribute(name=default-encoding,value=ISO-8859-15)

see WildFly 15.0 Model Reference
