RE: URGENT -- UTF-* encoding issue

[Ahmad, Naveed1]

I have recently upgraded to 2.8.2 and have a major problem with Character encoding in some pages. (UTF-8)

"Select Start ¬タモ Run ¬タモ and"

Single Quotes/ Double Quotes and Hypthens (-) are being rendered in   wiki  as some wierd character? Once I edit the file it appears ok - in   unix  the orginal file is fine.  Any help would be very much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Naveed.  

[Volkar, John M.]

I was looking into setting up a 2.8.x with security, and was looking to
see if jspwiki.policy could be set in server.xml  as a context parameter
like I do for the jspwiki.properties file (see MultipleWikis page).

There is a question on the MultipleWikis page about this that links to
page "Security 2.3 FAQ".  This appears to require a login, I (of course)
have forgotten what I used for the jspwiki.org site, and attempted to
re-register.  In several attempts to register I get a "invalid profile"
message (presumably because one of the elements I was using to register
existed my old profile?).  So I'm wanting the info on that page, so I
figure fine, I'll just register as a temporary user "SnarfBlatt", and
just use that profile...

The registration succeeded, but when I then tried to access the page
"Security 2.3 FAQ", I get a "Forbidden" message.  The site shows me as
Authenticated as "SnarfBlatt", but access is denied?


So two questions:
1) Why can't I get to the page "Security 2.3 FAQ" as SnarfBlatt?  (Idle
curiosity/annoyance)
and
2) How can I override the jspwiki.policy on a per-wiki basis when
setting up MultipleWikis?

Regards,
John Volkar

John -- I don't know the answer to question #1 offhand, but as for #2,  
security for each wiki is controlled by the jspwiki.policy file in WEB-
INF. Each wiki has its own. You can also use a "global" policy file by  
specifying the JVM property java.security.policy, but note that this  
option will go away in 3.0. (Many people found global policies  
confusing.)

Right got it, and so is jspwiki.properties similarly (typically?)
located there.

I want to specify the policy file location just like I do the property
file location using
jspwiki.propertiesfile="\somepath\to\jspwiki.properties" as a <Context>
parameter...

I was hoping that was mentioned on the "Security 2.3 FAQ" page.

For now, I'll just edit the policy files under WEB-INF, but this doesn't
play nice with MultipleWikis...  (docBase == a war file).

John,

if you still need the info on http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/Security2.3FAQ,
you can view it now.
There was an ALLOW statement on it that wasn't between comment brackets.

If using ldap authentication, the users isnt nessarily

Sorry, pressed send prematurely

Which validates users and groups, created in user.xml and groups.xml.
If using ldap authentication, the users isnt necessarily created in  
user.xml.

Thanks - but

1) I am using weblogic 10.2

2) We do not have the issue with jspwiki 2.4 on weblogic 10.2

I will check weblogic for this setting.

Since the data on-disk is already different from what was posted, it's  
quite likely that the HTTP POST is not parsed correctly by the servlet  
container. There is a change - in 2.4 we were explicitly parsing with  
new String( String.getBytes("Latin1"), "UTF-8" ), but with 2.8 we're  
using request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8").

This could be the reason, in which case it looks like Weblogic has a  
fairly serious problem.

I have cleaned up the existing Pages so issue resolved for the time being. Thank you all.

Does anyone know of a Scrolling Ticker that works with 2.8? I am unable to get any of the Cyrle plugins to work?
