[opencms-dev] charset problems

[Nico Krause]

Try java 1.4

Also there the server installation step by step instructions saying...

2 Installing Tomcat
Install Jakarta Tomcat http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html into a
folder of your choice. This is the CATALINA_HOME folder. Don't forget to set
the environment variables CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME. 

Test the installation by running tomcat in standalone mode and check the
examples. Note: Tomcat uses port 8080 in standalone mode. 

If you wish you can combine the servlet-engine with a webserver like the
Apache Web Server http://www.apache.org/httpd.html. 

To make sure Tomcat works with the correct charset to read and write files
you should add the following parameter to the commandline that is used to
start Tomcat: 

-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1
You can set the environment varibale CATALINA_OPTS to do so.
(CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1)

I'm using also 5.0 Beta 2

Try it!

Best Regards,

Nico

Subject: [opencms-dev] charset problems

Hello,

I am using OpenCms 5.0 Beta 2.

I have problems displaying german umlauts
and editing the source code.

I don't what to try else.
Last guess, the <meta>-tag with encoding=utf-8
is missing, but if I use different encodings
on the browser side, the result is always wrong.

Using IE 5:
-----------
- when clicking a file in explorer view
ä ö ü is displayed and not the umlauts.
I tried to set different encodings on the
browser side, but none worked.
  veröffentlichen -> veräffentlichen

- viewing an example page
/page.html displays ä ö ü in browser window
                    -----
and ä ö ü viewing the source code in notepad
    --------

- editing the source code in OpenCms:
I get a JavaScript error message:

,-----
| line:  88
| char:  9
| error: object expected
| code:  0
`-----

And no content is displayed in the textarea.
Saving and exiting are disabled.



Using IE 6:
-----------
- when clicking a file in explorer view
everything works

- viewing an example page:
/page.html displays ä ö ü in browser window
                    -----
and ä ö ü viewing the source code in notepad
    --------

- editing the source code in OpenCms
everything works

Maybe somebody can help me.

Thanks
Thomas
