Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi.

We have some problems getting swedish characters to work correctly when uploading files and running Tomcat 5.5 on Ubuntu. When running Tomcat on windows however, it works fine. All swedish characters is displayed correctly.

We have searched around alot without any success, if anyone has any ideas or questions please let us know.


Here are some configurations and code we use:

- server.xml -

<Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
	maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
        enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
        connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

- web.xml -

<filter>
	<filter-name>Charset Filter</filter-name>
	<filter-class>com.mycompany.util.CharsetFilter</filter-class>
      	<init-param>
        	<param-name>requestEncoding</param-name>
        	<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
      	</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
	<filter-name>Charset Filter</filter-name>
    	<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

- CharsetFilter.java -

public class CharsetFilter implements Filter {
    private String encoding;
    private Logger log = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass());

    public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
        encoding = config.getInitParameter("requestEncoding");
        if (encoding == null) encoding = "UTF-8";
    }

    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain next)
            throws IOException, ServletException {
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
        request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
        next.doFilter(request, response);
    }

    public void destroy() {
    }
}

upload.jsp has

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>

and

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

in header.


the file upload servlet contains:

ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
upload.setHeaderEncoding("UTF-8");

List<FileItem> items = upload.parseRequest(request);
for (FileItem fi : items) {
	if (fi.isFormField()) {
        	fileName = fi.getName();
                String fileData = new String(fi.getString().getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
		// fileData is not correct in Ubuntu, but in Windows
        }
}

catalina.sh contains:

CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
export CATALINA_OPTS

and

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS "-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager" "-Djava.util.logging.config.file="$CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

Running locale on ubuntu:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
