[opencms-dev] charset problems

[Alexander Kandzior]

Hi all,

use CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 

_not_ CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 (don't use!!)

Having done that, experiment with the "content-encoding" property on a
plain text file setting it to either "UTF-8" or "ISO-8859-1" which both
should work.

As said in the release note Java 1.3 is not currently supported because
of these encoding issues.
