indeed that seem to be what happens while logged into the workspace.
But when accessing the site from the outside the problem surfaces
again.

Setting the character encoding explicitly in say the template jsp does
not help - it seems that encoding is either set wrongly or set to
default by tomcat (iso-8859-1 it seems) by accessing a parameter before
the template jsp gets to set it explicitly.

When OpenCms exports the files is html, the final user downloads static
html files.<br>
If Apache httpd is set a front server, a parameter is to set in the
httpd.conf .<br>
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8<br>
<br>
<br>
For Apaphe 1.3, the settings are the following : <br>
<br>
For instance :<br>
<VirtualHost *:80><br>
ServerAdmin <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:webmaster@myhost.com">webmaster@myhost.com</a><br>
DocumentRoot /home/apache/myhost/www<br>
ServerName <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.myhost.com">www.myhost.com</a><br>
<br>
ErrorDocument 404 /errordocs/404.html<br>
<Directory "/home/apache/myhost/www/errordocs"><br>
AllowOverride None<br>
Order allow,deny<br>
Allow from all<br>
Options MultiViews<br>
</Directory><br>
<br>
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8<br>
<br>
JkMount /formmail wrkr<br>
JkMount /*.jsp wrkr<br>
JkMount /EcardServlet wrkr<br>
<Location "/opencms/WEB-INF/"><br>
AllowOverride None<br>
deny from all<br>
</Location><br>
</VirtualHost><br>
<br>
I think that with apache 2 + tomcat 5 + opencms 6, the settings are
different (according to the howtoos). But there is probably a similar
parameter in the apache 2
settings.<br>
<br>
I hope that it helps !<br>

I checked my config file and in there, the defaultcontentencoding is
<br>
set to UTF-8.
<br>
<br>
But I made a little workaround/hack for my problem.
<br>
First I send my query to a dummy jsp which replaces all the umlauts
<br>
and other signs to proper html code and do a send.redirect to the
<br>
results site with a new query string. This works fine for me and it is
<br>
not to much work.

If you insist on supporting e.g. both charsets the query String has to
be encoded additionally using
<br>
a java script form validation at clientside. This is some trouble with
automatic encoding of
<br>
browsers and automatic decoding of tomcat. While browsers use utf-8 to
encode before submit forms
<br>
tomcat decodes (at request parameter access time) the query using the
request encoding which (here)
<br>
is e.g. ISO-8859-1 because opencms serverd the searchpage in this
default encoding with the meta
<br>
charset content attribute and corresponding http headers.
<br>
The first encoding at client-side will make all special characters
(Umlaute) disappear: Only the '%'
<br>
character will remain as a "character to encode". The 2nd encoding then
will encode the '%' a 2nd
<br>
time. Automatic decoding of tomcat will turn these "%25" back to mere
'%' which works regardless of
<br>
any charset because it is in the ASCII range that will work for all
exotic codepages (It is not
<br>
harmful if a different encoding at client side was used). The 2nd
OpenCms decode operation
<br>
especially for the query now uses utf-8 (just as the browser did) and
works correctly.
<br>
<br>
happy coding,
<br>
<br>
Achim

I am having a problem with German umlauts (ä => ä ü =>

<br>

action="GET".
<br>
The parameters change to something strange like
<br>
?query=%C3%96ffnungszeiten
<br>
and OpenCMS decodes it back to
<br>
Ă–ffnungszeiten
<br>
All documents are UTF-8 and have a property locale=de
<br>
<br>
I hope anybody has an idea or can point me to a reference of this
problem.

Thank you very much
