FWIW: I have no issues doing this:
public static void main(String argv[]) {
WOMessage.setDefaultEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
WOApplication.main(argv, Application.class);
}
And having a simple page (foo is just a String in the page, and goHome
just return's null)
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<wo:WOForm>
<wo:textfield value="[foo]"/>
<wo:submit action="[goHome]"/>
</wo:WOForm>
</body>
</html>
And having the é come across just fine into and out of the app...
Using tcpdump, I can see that its passed by the browser as é

So I don't think its a bug in WO, but if you feel otherwise, please do
file a bug.

I don't claim to be any expert in encodings, but are you sure
ISO8895_1 is a valid encoding name, or even the encoding that you
want? Are you trying to get ISO-LATIN-1 or ISO-8859-1 ?

Hi All.
So, after extensive testing with my little HelloWorld app, these
are the results:
The only thing that seems to work is setting <meta
charset="UTF-8"></meta> in the head of the document. Setting accept-
charset="UTF-8" in the form does not seem to do anything.
I overrode WOApplication.dispatchRequest() to turn
isFormValueEncodingDetectionEnabled() on and off, and the behaviour
does change, but it's wrong both ways. I also tried using
setDefaultFormValueEncoding("ISO8895_1"), and it did change the
behaviour, but it was always the wrong behaviour. It seems that the
only thing that works is to go along with the default UTF-8
behaviour.

Is WORequest.isFormValueEncodingDetectionEnabled() turned on?
What happens if you turn it off/on?

Hi All.
I've bumped into an incompatibility between WebObjects 5.3 and
5.4. In 5.3, I could submit a form value with non-ASCII
characters, and their encoding would be correctly interpreted. In
5.4, the encoding is misinterpreted.
I printed out the actual request contents, and, for instance e-
acute is sent as é, which as far as I know is correct ISO8859
encoding. I read in the release notes that WO 5.4 now defaults to
UTF8 encoding, so I tried to change the request's
defaultFormValueEncoding to ISO8859_1. Then it got interpreted as
a literal é!
Can anybody shed some light on this? I have searched the lists
and the Google, and have come up empty.
Thanks!
