Hi mb, Thanks for the link to the configuration page.
The explanation of the problem was in my original email. I hard coded a few chinese text in my UTF-8 encoded Home.html (see below), but the text didn't get render properly in web browser. The "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" option fixed it, but the <meta...> keys in *.application file didn't (although I thought they should). Home.html --------------- <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> <p>hello <span jwcid="subject">world</span>!</p> <p>中文测试</p> (hard coded chinese text here, but it shown up as garbage ) <BR> TEST2 </body> </html> Galam On 5/29/06, Mind Bridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Galam, How do you get the data that is not outputted in the correct encoding? I haven't seen an explanation of that in your messages, but I am guessing that it is obtained from a file or from something like a database. As a result the data is not read properly and is "mangled" _before_ it reaches the Tapestry layer. "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" fixes that by ensuring that UTF-8 is used in input/output even if no encoding is specified explicitly. A quick explanation of the Tapestry configuration keys that were listed in case they are useful in other cases: "org.apache.tapestry.template-encoding" defines the encoding that Tapestry uses when it reads the templates (the .html files). "org.apache.tapestry.messages-encoding" defines the encoding that Tapestry uses when it reads the .property files. This setting is not normally needed as it defaults to the value of "template-encoding", but it can be defined if needed. "org.apache.tapestry.output-encoding" defines the encoding that Tapestry uses to communicate with the browser. It is UTF-8 by default to cover all "specific" characters and there is normally no reason to change that. The full list of the configuration parameters is defined here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/UsersGuide/configuration.html and the following may be useful too: http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/UsersGuide/localization.html#localization.component-catalog.encoding -mb > Specifying the encoding in the *.application file doens't work (I've > tried > all three encoding options below, none of them work). > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry > Specification 4.0//EN" > "http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_4_0.dtd";> > <application> > <meta key="org.apache.tapestry.output-encoding" value="UTF-8"/> > <meta key="org.apache.tapestry.messages-encoding" value="UTF-8"/> > <meta key="org.apache.tapestry.template-encoding" value="UTF-8"/> > </application> > > > The only thing that works is by passing the "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" > option > to the java.exe in the catalina startup script. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
