I use a chat servlet deployed in tomcat 5.5.
Because i live in France, i need some special characters like é / à / ç.
When testing with my IDE (netbeans + tomcat 5.5) i've no problem with
these characters, as i use UTF-8.
When serving the HTML canvas page, i declare UTF-8 encoding in the
doGet() method of the servlet :
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
Chat messages are sent using http / POST, and according to the http
specs, it should use the character encoding of the webpage. When the
webapp receive a POST message, it make it available for all the users,
using JSON. So i use:
response.setContentType("application/json;charset=UTF-8");
when serving the new JSON chat messages (javascript native encoding is utf-8).
As i said, there is no matter when using it in my vanillia Tomcat
bundled with the IDE. But when deploying and testing on the production
server, there is no way to obtain these utf-8 characters!
My production server is setup with apache and mod_proxy_AJP, so i
declare using UTF-8 to the AJP connector with this line:
<Connector port="8009" address="127.0.0.1" enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
I obviously added the AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 to my httpd.conf apache
configuration file.
Here is my mod_proxy virtual host configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName serv1.xxx.tld
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/apache.tomcat-serv1.error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/apache.tomcat-serv1.log combined
RedirectMatch ^/$ /bpc1/
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /bpc1/ ajp://localhost:8009/bpc1/
ProxyPassReverse /bpc1/ ajp://localhost:8009/bpc1/
</VirtualHost>
I've looked at my HTTP headers.
The post header have this content type:
Content-Type text/html;charset=UTF-8
The json response header given have this content type:
Content-Type application/json;charset=UTF-8
But when the letter "é" is sent, "é" is received.
So i know this is not a pure Tomcat problem, but any help, any clue
would be appreciated, i probably missed something when configuring the
server...
Thanks by advance.
