utf-8 encoding problem 2007-08-15 - By Nathan Hook
Back
A few things...
First, what type of apostrophe are you using? Are you using a typical ascii
apostrophe (') or are you using the Microsoft slanted apostrophe that comes
out of word documents (′)?
Here are two links that describe the problem:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/windows-chars.html
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars.html#win
Now after reading that you're still having issues, then here is what needs
to be done to get utf-8 (See http://utf-8.ora-code.com) encoding to work.
If you're using mod_jk make sure that the ajp connector is set up to encode
using utf-8 (See http://utf-8.ora-code.com) like so:
<Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443"
protocol="AJP/1.3" URIEncoding="UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com)" />
Next, make sure that the request AND response have been set to use utf
encoding. The request MUST have its character encoding set BEFORE any
request parameters are requested or the request will default to the machines
character encoding.
public class ContentTypeFilter implements Filter
{
private static org.apache.log4j.Logger log =
org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger("tracking");
public void init(FilterConfig config)
{
}
public void destroy()
{
}
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException
{
request = (HttpServletRequest)request;
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com)");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com)");
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com)");
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
}
}
Finally, I would also set the meta header on the jsp page to be utf-8 (See http://utf-8.ora-code.com) just
to be complete...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8 (See http://utf-8.ora-code.com)" >

My problem is this:
One of my pages with an apostrophe was not displaying properly, so I added
to my jsp:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com)"%>
When I did that my content displayed correctly, but on form submission it
got corrupted.
You can view the problem here:
http://b.tupari.net/
One page displays correctly, but on submit the value gets mangled. The
other page doesn't display correctly, but if you cut and paste into the form
from the first page the apostrophe does come out correctly on submit.
This happens in both firefox and konqueror. So who is to blame here? The
web browsers? Tomcat? Apache?
