Hey guys, lately, I use the combination of Struts and Velocity frameworks to create some website, the problem is that when I tried to input UTF-8 Japanese character, say, a field name, which I putted in the value of "索", then I click submit ( using ), the data would be passed to an AddForm, which I have the String name field to handle the name field. Problem is that, the received string is some strange letter than the expected string "索", I set all the workspace to UTF-8, in velocity.property ( input.coding/outputcoding = UTF-8 ), content-type/charset = UTF-8, but it always returns strange string, I could set the name field directly with : public void setName(String name) { this.name = "索" } and the confirm Add work fine, but not with normally insert it to name field on the addForm, someone could point me out what was wrong ? Thanks for patient reading :D.
A:
I understood your problems is as follows, is this right?
- you can send and display “索” correctly on client browsers,
- but when the form is sent back to server, data is corrupted.
This is caused by mismatch between:
- encoding in which the request is encoded (UTF-8 as you said) and
- encoding by which the server decodes (ISO-8859-1 by default).
It can be solved by specifying server-side encoding (2nd of above) explicitly using CharacterEncodingFilter of Spring Framework.
(note: Japanese frameworks such as Seasar and TERASOLUNA have similar filter and articles on the problem.)

Thanks for the reply, yeap, you got it right, data corrupted when sending back to server, I would try the ChracterEncodingFilter. Btw, I deal with Seasar once and saw that they can handle Unicode characters as well. Thanks again.

<filter> <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class> <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> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>Yeah ! It works like a charm ! Thanks you ! Up there is config needed to make thing done :D
