What about the encoding on the actual HTML page? Whats that set to?

Hi all,

I have the following situation:

A database with all tables specified to default to UTF8 encoding.
Adaptor URL containing useUnicode=true&setContentEncoding=UTF8
A record in one table that holds the € currency symbol.

I am loading a WOComponent page to edit values etc., using a form.

Everything was fine and one day all the € symbols started appearing as '?'. Clearly something changed somewhere on the server but I don't know what. Anyway, the €msymbols that are appearing this way are displayed by using a WOString. The value it displays is from defaultCountry which is a variable of type COUNTRY loaded from the database and stored in the Session class.

€ symbols that were entered on the form, when added to a display group for example, would appear as €.

I've had a look around and what I found was this suggestion:

Put this in Application class:

   public void takeValuesFromRequest(WORequest r, WOContext c) {
        r.setDefaultFormValueEncoding("UTF8");
        super.takeValuesFromRequest(r,c);
    }

    public void appendToResponse(WOResponse r, WOContext c) {
        r.setContentEncoding("UTF8");
        super.appendToResponse(r,c);
        r.setHeader("text/html;charset=utf-8", "Content-Type");
    }

Which I did. It helped to a certain extent. It seemed to fix the problem with the form values, which now displayed correctly, but the '?' still appears where the value is displayed with WOString. Then I found another suggestion:

Put this in Application class:

public WOResponse dispatchRequest(WORequest aRequest) {
aRequest.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");
WOResponse aResponse = super.dispatchRequest(aRequest);
aResponse.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");
return aResponse;

Doing this solved the problem of the '?' but reverted the form values to display as €.

No matter what I do, there doesn't seem to be a way to get them both to display correctly. Any ideas?

Regards,
David.
