Hi Alex,
Follows a common simple form (attached as well):
<%@ page
language="java"
contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"
%>
<%@ page session="false" %>
<%
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
String s = request.getParameter("testparam");
out.println("Γεία σου "+s);
%>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>JSP Form with some greeks : τέστ</h2>
<form method="post" action"." accept-charset="UTF-8">
<input type="text" name="testparam">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</html>
I could also use ISO-8859-7 instead of UTF-8. Well this depends from other
webapps that is under tomcat. For example I used Jakarta Jetspeed and I had
to put in tomcat param ISO-8859-7. This mean that Opencms has to rum using
ISO-8859-7 as well. So, then there is maybe a problem. Another issue is that
when I used UTF-8 search engines (google) did not parse my pages correctly
as well. It would be perfect if we could use UTF-8 only but there are still
constraints. What do you think / propose? Finally I have tried to use the
accept-charset in a <form but this does not seem to work.
Best Regards,
Vangelis

Vangelis,
if you want to help with the encoding this would be greatly appreciated.
Since you apparently are used to work in a different charset then
ISO-8859-1, I have a simple question for you (and for everyone else
experienced in this encoding issues):
When you create a regular HTML web form with a JSP (not in OpenCms, just
standard JSP), and you want your users to be able to enter greek chars, how
do you handle the encoding for such a form? How do you make sure that when
you on the server site do a <% String str =
request.getParameter("greekinput"); %> after posting the form have the chars
actually encoded in greek?
Actually, I already have a pretty clear picture on how I think this works,
but I want to check with someone who does this on a regular basis to see if
I am right or missing something.
Best Regards,
Alex.
