Question

encoding discrepancy between "main" page and dojo dialog

Answer 1

A:

The Dialog widget in Dojo calls the URL /votingOptions, which I assume is handled by a servlet or Struts action.

Because it's an Ajax call, I also assume that if you're using the struts action, then you're sending the response via the HttpServletResponse object instead of redirecting to a view.

Either way, make sure to use:

String str = "こんにちわ、 Kürt Gödel";
response.getWriter().write(str);

instead of:

response.getOutputStream().println(str);

I was able to reproduce the behavior you were experiencing with these pieces of code. The first one shows all characters correctly (even the japanese ones !), the second shows a garbled message.

Since you're developping an Ajax app, also make sure to install the HttpFox plugin, which is better at showing Http traffic than Firebug.

Answer 2

A:

I had a similar problem.
In my case the dojo javascript files where returned in iso-8859-1 format. To fix it I had to override the method getContentType() in the default FilterDispatcher class. I replaced it to the following code (tested in Struts 2.0.9):


protected String getContentType(String name) {
        if (name.endsWith(".js")) {
            return "text/javascript;charset=\"UTF-8\"";
        } else if (name.endsWith(".css")) {
            return "text/css";
        } else if (name.endsWith(".html")) {
            return "text/html;charset=\"UTF-8\"";
        } else if (name.endsWith(".txt")) {
            return "text/plain";
        } else if (name.endsWith(".gif")) {
            return "image/gif";
        } else if (name.endsWith(".jpg") || name.endsWith(".jpeg")) {
            return "image/jpeg";
        } else if (name.endsWith(".png")) {
            return "image/png";
        } else {
            return null;
        }
}
