[Helma-user] Skin files and character encoding

[tobias.schaefer at orf.at]

Hi

I just experienced a confusing issue with character encoding, too:

Trying to display the contents of a skin file encoded with UTF-8 I had to
set the -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 switch in the Java options as suggested by
Rainer Rynesch.

Otherwise I get incorrect output of UTF-8 characters, e.g. something like
€€€€€ instead of five euro symbols...

Of course I have set charset and skinCharset to UTF-8 in app.properties.

Shouldn't this be enough to achieve the correct output?

Could anybody please verify if the test setup below displays correctly
the euro symbols in his browser?

Ciao,
tobi

Here's the test setup:


app.properties
--------------
charset = UTF8
skinCharset = UTF8


Global/Foo.skin
---------------
Some UTF-8 characters: €€€€€


Global/Global.js
----------------
Root.prototype.main_action = function() {
   res.write(app.getSkinfilesInPath(res.skinpath).Global.Foo);
}
