how to set character encoding in request?

[edward wang]

Hi Folks,

When i update a product name in catalog page, i sent request to back end. i
debugged in ContorlServlet.java file.
I  saw request.getCharacterEncoding() is null. I wonder if there is a way to
set CharacterEncoding in the request from front end?
update product file is EditPtoductContent.ftl

Thanks,

One option is to call a static function from the FTL file.  Like this:

<#assign subCatlist =
Static["org.ofbiz.entity.GenericDelegator"].getSubCategories(parameters.currentProductCategoryId)>

Thanks, Could you tell me in more detail?

currently the problem when i update product name using this name "Vanilla®
Visa® Gift Card"
But I got this name " Vanilla® Visa® Gift Card" saved in DB, which has
extra character Â.
I found out if I changed      if (UtilValidate.isEmpty(charset)) charset =
"UTF-8";
to      if (UtilValidate.isEmpty(charset)) charset = "ISO-8859-1";
                              in ControlServlet.java
this  is gone.

So i am not sure if i can use "ISO-8859-1 to encoding all requests.

So i am thinking i only do for updateProduct to set  "ISO-8859-1" in
request.

Please let me know if this is ok.
