Re: [Exist-open] Question on encodings

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@ex...>]

Thanks. I commited some additional modifications to XQueryServlet: passed=20
request parameters were always transcoded to the servlet engine's default=20
encoding (ISO-8859-1), though the browser sent them in correct UTF-8. This=
=20
makes all queries fail.

I modified HttpRequestWrapper to recode the passed parameter back into the=
=20
original encoding used by the form. Following Cocoon's example, there are n=
ow=20
two additional servlet parameters in web.xml: form-encoding and=20
container-encoding. form-encoding specifies the character encoding used by=
=20
the client web-browser, container-encoding defines the encoding used by the=
=20
servlet engine. If form-encoding and container-encoding differ, the=20
HttpRequestWrapper will recode all parameters from container-encoding to=20
form-encoding.

=46or example, if your HTML form posts UTF-8 encoded parameters, the follow=
ing=20
configuration for XQueryServlet should work:

<init-param>
	<param-name>form-encoding</param-name>
        <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
 </init-param>

 <init-param>
 	<param-name>container-encoding</param-name>
 	<param-value>ISO-8859-1</param-value>
 </init-param>
