Language code (UTF-8) when adding a new address on Ecommerce

[Robert Gan]

Hey Guys,

When I am a customer and add a new postall-address, the form does not accept utft-8. When I put in umlauts (german äöü), the result are strange signs in the database. The weired thing is, when I go over the administration on party manager and add an address there, everything is fine.

To add "accept-charset="UTF-8" does not help. Also my Meta header is set to UTF-8

Does anyone have an idea? This is the only one form where the problem exists.

It is probably related to this bug entered in Oct-2011.

By the way, I believe stock 11.04 will probably work if these issues are
related.

thank you, just for your information, this was the error source. I did as mentioned there:

If you take these out of:

specialpurpose/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/WEB-INF/web.xml
specialpurpose/ecommerce/webapp/ecomclone/WEB-INF/web.xml

+ <filter-name>CatalogUrlFilter</filter-name>
+ <display-name>CatalogUrlFilter</display-name>
+ <filter-class>org.ofbiz.product.category.CatalogUrlFilter</filter-class>
+ <init-param><param-name>defaultLocaleString</param-name><param-value>en_US</param-value></init-param>
+ <init-param><param-name>redirectUrl</param-name><param-value>/control/main</param-value></init-param>
+ </filter>
...
<filter-mapping>
+ <filter-name>CatalogUrlFilter</filter-name>
+ <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
+ </filter-mapping>

The search returns normal.


after that it worked and I also had no problems with url's etc.

Great!
