Hi,
I found this issue, which seems to solve my problem:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3523?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel
If in request I add: &format_options=charset:windows-1250 the dbf is
encoded as expected.
So if I format my reqest like this:
http://my.url.si/ows?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&VERSION=1.1.0&TYPENAME=IND_ODLAG_POINT&PROPERTYNAME=SHAPE,ID_ODLAG,UPRAVLJALEC,TIP_ODLAG,GK_Y,STATUS,GK_X,IME_ODLAG,OPOMBA&OUTPUTFORMAT=SHAPE-ZIP&format_options=charset:windows-1250
I can see my local characters in OpenJUMP if select charset=windows-1250
when opening shp file.
So that way my problem is solved :).
It seems that by default encoding is ISO-8859-1 (as Andrea commented in
JIRA).

Saso

Hi,
I had a try with our WFS which is coming from a little bit older Geoserver
version. Anyhow, it is producing a shapefile with Windows-1252 encoding. In a
way in my case it is making living easy because Windows-1252 is also the
default codepage of my own compurer. However, I almost think that it is a
wrong behaviour and SHAPE-ZIP should use UTF-8 as a default. Perhaps there
could be some additional vendor parameter that gives user a possibility to
select the codepage. But perhaps it would be better just to have it always as
UTF-8 and let everybody know about it.

Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] Character encoding for
OUTPUTFORMAT=SHAPE-ZIP
Hi,
Thanks Jukka for answer.
I tried OpenJUMP 1.4 but without success.
I used hex editor to see what is going on. In DBF I can see only "?"
sign (ascii 63/hex 3F) on position of my local character, in XML with
GML which is UTF-8 encoded I can see two hex bytes C5 and A0
on position
of my local character.
So I thinks Geoserver performs encoding when building DBF or GML.
Any other idea ?
Could be this issue of setup of encoding on Geoserver,
Tomcat, Database
(Oracle 11g) ?

Hi,
What software do you use for opening the shapefile, and
does it let you to select the codepage to use? Dbf file in
the shapefile can not tell what character encoding it is
using and many programs are just seelcting the default code
page of the client computer. I would guess that WFS server is
creating shapefiles with the UTF-8 which is used also in GML.
You can select the codepage at least with OpenJUMP 1.4 (must
be activated first from the settings) and QGis.

How to define character encoding for OUTPUTFORMAT=SHAPE-ZIP i.e.:
http://my_url/geoserver/ows?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&VER
SION=1.1.0&TYPENAME=MYTYPE&PROPERTYNAME=SHAPE,PARA1,PARA2>
&OUTPUTFORMAT=SHAPE-ZIP

&TYPENAME=arso:IND_ODLAG_POINT&PROPERTYNAME=SHAPE,ID_ODLAG,UPR
AVLJALEC,TIP_ODLAG,GK_Y,STATUS,GK_X,IME_ODLAG,OPOMBA&OUTPUTFOR
MAT=SHAPE-ZIP>
In dbf file we get now "?" characters instead of our
language specific
characters ( s?zc'c(S?ZC'C(). When using GML as autput format, our
language specific characters are visible.
