UTF-8 Character handling

Peter78

Hi All,

Actuate Version - 9, Service pack 2 (Java 1.6 on RHEL)

Our actuate reports used to process the UTF-8 characters correctly.

However, once we added the encoding type as UTf-8 in tomcat's configuration (In tomcat/conf/server.xml, on connector descriptor , following line URIEncoding="UTF-8" was added, this was added for the REST APIs to handle the UTF-8 characters correctly).

The report engine , when we call /webapp/executereport.do , doesn't recognize the UTF-8 characters passed.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

We later found that the changes is affected only GET requests and not POST. By adding this attribute in server.xml useBodyEncodingForURI, fixed our issue.
