i18n test - I�t�rn�ti�n�liz�ti�

Comments[0] by Dave in Roller

I�t�rn�ti�n�liz�ti�n. Making Sam Ruby's suggested I18N test work in Roller required a code change and a configuration file change. First, the code change: I added the following line to force incoming form data to be parsed as UTF-8. 

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
The config change: I updated my velocity.properties file to support UTF-8: 
input.encoding=UTF-8
output.encoding=UTF-8
default.contentType=text/html; charset=utf-8

Unfortunately, this breaks comments as you will see if you try to leave a comment. I'm working on this now.

Update: Roller followed a linkback to Simon Brown's I�t�rn�ti�n�liz�ti�n post, and lookee there, linkbacks need work too.

Another update: I'm tracking this in JIRA as bug ROL-341. By the way, it appears that JIRA handles i�t�rn�ti�n�liz�ti�n flawlessly.

Yet another update: Thanks to a suggestion from David Czarnecki, who literally wrote the book on Java Internationalization, comments are working on posts with I18N titles. I had to add URIEncoding="UTF-8" in the Tomcat Connector configured in server.xml:

    <!-- Define a Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector on port 10039 -->
    <Connector port="10039"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="10033" debug="0"
               protocol="AJP/1.3" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
