Dear Alexander and all,
Thank you for your advice but it did not solve the issue and so I
further experimented:
-
"FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestCharacterEncoding()"
returns "UTF-8" as expected (without any change to the server
configuration).
- So I imagined that the string "value" might be (wrongly) encoded as
"ISO-8859-1" (and not "UTF-8"). So, based on this assumption, I
"tweaked" the setter for "value" as follows:
public void setValue(String value) throws Exception {
this.value = new String(value.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");
}
The result shows that my assumption might be right: When I now enter the
umlauts "äöü" in the input text field and I submit then those umlauts
are not scrambled but redisplayed correctly.
Hence, since the string "arrives" at the bean/setter already in the
wrong encoding, I would guess that the input component does not properly
encode the string before handing it off.
Regards,
Holger
