I have a demo web application that creates users. When I try to insert data in other languages (like french) the characters are not encoded correctly. The code on the controller is:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@RequestMapping(value = "/user/create.htm", params={"id"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String edit(@RequestParam("id") Long id, ModelMap model) {
System.out.println("id is " + id);
User user = userService.get(id);
model.put("user", user);
return "user/create";
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/user/create.htm", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String save(@ModelAttribute("user") User user, BindingResult result) {
System.out.println(user.getFirstName());
System.out.println(user.getLastName());
validator.validate(user, result);
if(result.hasErrors()) {
return "user/create";
}
userService.save(user);
return "redirect:list.htm";
}
my web.xml is:
...
<filter>
<filter-name>encoding-filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>encoding-filter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
...
and the page is:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
...
<form:form method="post" commandName="user">
...
<form:input path="firstName" cssErrorClass="form-error-field"/>
...
when I enter some french characters in the first name then the output from the system.out.println is ????+????? or something similar.
I saw other people fixing this with the CharacterEncodingFilter but this doesn't seem to work.
Thanks a lot.
Edited the filter value.

Try making CharacterEncodingFilter the first filter in web.xml.
I realize this question is a little old, but I just ran into the same problem, and moving CharacterEncodingFilter fixed it for me.

If this still does not work and you're using Tomcat as your application server try to set the following option on every <Connector> element in the server.xml:
<Connector URIEncoding="UTF-8" ...>
...
</Connector>
This did the trick for me. There might be similar options for other application servers, so you might want to check the server documentation.
