Hi All,
I am
stuck in a big problem with encoding
in my website!
I use spring 3, tomcat 6, and mysql db. I want to support German and Czech along with English
in my website, I created all the JSPs as UTF-8 files, and
in each jsp I include the following:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
I created messages.properties (the default which is Czech), messages_de.properties, and messages_en.properties. And all of them are saved as UTF-8 files.
I added the following to web.xml:
<filter>
<filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>
<filterclass>
org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filterclass>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<locale-encoding-mapping-list>
<locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale>en</locale>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale>cz</locale>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale-encoding-mapping>
<locale>de</locale>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</locale-encoding-mapping>
</locale-encoding-mapping-list>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
And add the following to my applicationContext.xml:
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource"
p:basenames="messages"/>
<!-- Declare the Interceptor -->
<mvc:interceptors>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor"
p:paramName="locale" />
</mvc:interceptors>
<!-- Declare the Resolver -->
<bean id="localeResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver" />
I set the useBodyEncodingForURI attribute to true
in the element of server.xml under: %CATALINA_HOME%/conf, also another time tried to add URIEncoding="UTF-8" instead.
I created all the tables and fields with charset [utf8] and collection [utf8_general_ci]
The encoding
in my browser is UTF-8 (BTW, I have IE8 and Firefox 3.6.3)
When I open the MYSQL Query browser and insert manually Czech or German data, it's being inserted correctly, and displayed correctly
in my app as well.
So, here's the list of problems I have:
By default the messages.properties (Czech) should load, instead the messages_en.properties loads by default.
In the web form, when I enter Czech data, then click submit,
in the Controller I print out the data
in the console before to save it to db, what's being printed is not correct having strange chars, and this is the exact data that saves to db.
I don't know where's the mistake! Why can't I get it working although I did what people did and worked for them! don't know..
Please help me, I am
stuck in this crappy problem since days, and it drives me crazy!
Thank you
in advance.
