[opencms-dev] Umlaut character problems

[Petr Hollay]

Hi,

we have this problem on JDK 1.4.2 on Suse Linux 8.0, but JDK 1.4.1_0x is
working correctly.

Regards
Petr

Hi List,


we had to fight against similar problems on SuSE Linux 7.3 / 8.1 / 8.2
professional with
- Sun JDK 1.4.2_01 for Linux  (j2sdk_1_4_2_01-linux-i586.bin)
- Tomcat 4.1.24 or Tomcat 4.1.27

After several tests we came to the result that first of all You will need
the rpm-paket
"glibc_locale"
for linux installed.
On the SuSE "Minimal System" You won't get this rpm. That was the first
problem we had to solve.

Anyway we still got "umlaute"-errors after installing this rpm-package on
our test-system.
In all our tests we didnt change anything with the code of opencms, just
played around with combinations of
- "-Dfile.encoding=xxx" in the Tomcat-environment  and
- "defaultContentEncoding=xxx" in the opencms.properties-file
We set them always to the same string, because OpenCms doesnt start
otherwise (see the other articles on the list).


What we figured out  with our test-environment is that after installing the
rpm above
  ISO-8859-1 is not working for the "Umlauts" ü and ä (only problems with
lower case);
                   in some environments (not 100% reproducible) it works
when You get the "?" as an error first
                   and You set the correct string again  (rename/change)
afterwards the second time.
  ISO-8859-15 is working
  UTF-8 is working best (shows even the "Umlaute" You entered under
"ISO-8859-xx"-conditions before)

Hope that helps. Maybe the opencms-community can fix this on the way to the
next release.


Best regards
 Martin Buehrle
