Fixes, new feature, and character encoding issue on Pear

Posted by mholmes on 26 Apr 2010 in Activity log

Uploaded all of PAB's latest changes to the db, tested, and found a couple more errors in the files, which we fixed. Then I added links to related items, based on new <relatedItem> tags added by PAB.

Then, while testing, we discovered that character encodings are getting garbled in form submissions on the server; although all of the Cocoon setup is using UTF-8, Tomcat seems to be stuck on 8859-1. This doesn't happen on my local machine, so it's something specific to the server setup of Tomcat. I confirmed that this happens both with Tomcat-dev (hosting MyNDIR) and Tomcat-stable (hosting Graves and ACH). Did some research on our blog, and found a couple of possible causes, both of which I reported to RE:

  • Tomcat needs to be started with the UTF-8 flag on the VM. You can do this with a separate script file, as I described here (#19), or you can do it in the CATALINA OPTS, as detailed here.
  • The URIEncoding parameter needs to be set in Tomcat's conf/server.xml, as explained here.
