I did a quick look at the struts2.2.1 source code. It looks like the method [HttpServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding] is invoked by class [FilterDispatcher] and [StrutsPrepareFilter]. (You can use [Call Hierarchy] view to find out this information)
In your old configuration, [StrutsPrepareFilter] is the last filter applied to request, so the encoding set by this filter will be used. But in your new configuration, [StrutsPrepareFilter] is the first filter applied to request, so the encoding set by this filter could be overridden by other filters later. In your case, it could be overridden by [SiteMeshFilter]. I suggest you to read source or docs of [SiteMeshFilter], check out if it changed CharacterEncoding and how to change the setting of it to use a correct encoding. 2010/10/18 Zoran Avtarovski <zo...@sparecreative.com>: > I have a really strange character encoding error that is appearing when I > attempt to change my struts2 filter configuration from: > > <filter> > <filter-name>struts-cleanup</filter-name> > > <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ActionContextCleanUp</filter-cla > ss> > </filter> > <filter> > <filter-name>struts</filter-name> > > <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class> > </filter> > <filter> > <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> > > <filter-class>com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.filter.PageFilter</filter-cla > ss> > </filter> > > <filter-mapping> > <filter-name>struts-cleanup</filter-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </filter-mapping> > <filter-mapping> > <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </filter-mapping> > <filter-mapping> > <filter-name>struts</filter-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </filter-mapping> > > > To > > <filter> > <filter-name>struts-prepare</filter-name> > > <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareFilter</f > ilter-class> > </filter> > > <filter> > <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> > > <filter-class>com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter</filter-class> > </filter> > > <filter> > <filter-name>struts-execute</filter-name> > > <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsExecuteFilter</f > ilter-class> > </filter> > > <filter-mapping> > <filter-name>struts-prepare</filter-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </filter-mapping> > > <filter-mapping> > <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> > <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher> > <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher> > </filter-mapping> > > <filter-mapping> > <filter-name>struts-execute</filter-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </filter-mapping> > > > With only this change when I enter a 'æ' character (and e together) it > appears a A!|!
