Hello Xavier,
Thank you for your input.
My browser is set to auto-detection (Normally I use Chrome, but once in a while I fire up other browsers for compatibility tests) - and even if I fix it to UTF-8, it makes no change.
Looking at the source, I see that WebObjects itself replaced the chinese letters with question marks (i.e., it's not the browser which is failing on the chinese output - it's my application).
Thinking back, I don't recall ever having been able to output asian characters, neither chinese nor japanese in WO...
My webpage does contain an utf-8 meta header....
headers and start of document:
HTTP/1.0 200 Apple WebObjects
cache-control: private
cache-control: no-cache
cache-control: no-store
cache-control: must-revalidate
cache-control: max-age=0
expires: Sun, 10-Mar-2013 12:33:53 GMT
content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
pragma: no-cache
x-webobjects-loadaverage: 1
date: Sun, 10-Mar-2013 12:33:53 GMT
content-length: 2693
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
one thing I notice: The document is presenting itself as UTF-8, but the server (java/WO) is presenting the root as latin-1 (iso88591). Now I can't imagine that being any other than a problem. Then the question remains - where to change that to turn it into a fully-fledged UTF8 service ?
Regards,
Þór
