[opencms-dev] Why are OpenCMS using encoding?

[Jonas Karlsson, Webb och PC-support]

I’m sorry, but it isn’t true that version 6.0 solves the problem with the
encoding. I used version 6.0, and everything went well according to the
installation wizard. But when I wanted to start using OmpenCMS by surfing to
http://www.webbpcsupport.com:8080//opencms/opencms/system/login/
<http://www.webbpcsupport.com:8080/opencms/opencms/system/login/>  I got the
following exception: 

 

HTTP Status 500 -

from fulfilling this request.

exception

Apache Tomcat/5.0.19

 Apparently version 6.0 doesn’t solve the encoding problem.

The question may sound stupid, but all the talk about internationalization
and everything doesn’t work out that well out in the field. When you are not
in control over a system, but only controls a web application inside Tomcat,
and can’t control which Java-version that runs or how to start it, the
encoding problem is indeed frustrating. Why can’t OpenCMS think of a
solution but to start Tomcat with “right” encoding? Due to this rather silly
thing, I can’t get OpenCMS running and since I work for a company that
planed to recommend customers to use OpenCMS, in fact we thought about
financing a part of our costs by consulting on OpenCMS, and noting of this
can be realised. It’s a pity! Even though I like OpenCMS, I like the idea
with Open Source, I simple have to look somewhere else.  

That is why in OpenCMS 6.0 the developers have solved the problem bu not
requiring changes to the environment.
We are using it now for a large customer. It works very well.
