UTF-8 encoding

[Ludwig Magnusson]

Hi!

How can I make the browser display my page with UTF-8 encoding when using
turbine and velocity?

In my layout template I have the line:

$page.setHttpEquiv("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8")

Which generates:

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

 

The browser is still set on ISO-8895-1 however.

I found some solutions for tomcat but they were all directed to jsp based
sites. Is the problem in turbine/velocity or tomcat?

Hi Ludwig,

i have the following settings in my properties file to my my screens and
forms work with UTF-8:

services.VelocityService.input.encoding=UTF-8
services.VelocityService.output.encoding=UTF-8
locale.default.charset=UTF-8
input.encoding=UTF-8

i use turbine-2.3.2 and velocity-1.3.1. UTF-8 did not work with earlier
version.

I work with turbine 2.3.1 and velocity 1.4 and have had success with setting the following within the isAuthorized method (with pretty much any character encoding)

HttpServletResponse response = data.getResponse();

response.setCharacterEncoding(charSet);
// where charSet is ISO-8859-1, GB2312, UTF-8, etc

response.setContentType(contentType);  
// where contentType is <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=ISO-8859-1" />, etc

The advantage of doing the above is that you can change the encoding on the fly for different languages.

You can certainly embed the above within the meta tags, but some browsers (IE7, etc) will ignore them.  The above works around that.

Be aware, though that the encoding of URL-parameters (for GET-requests)
is still interpreted by Tomcat as ISO-8859-1. You may want to set
useBodyEncodingForURI="true" in the connector in use. See
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/ajp.html on what this does.

Bye, Thomas.
