| 1 | 1 XWiki Character Encoding Configuration | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | Here is below the configuration for UTF-8. Note that this is valid for XWiki 1.0 b5 and above. Easier configuration might be provided for upcoming releases. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 1.1 XWiki encoding | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Change the charset enconding in these XWiki files : | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | * *web.xml*: locate the filter class com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter and change it to UTF-8. It should look like this | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | {code:xml} | ||
| 12 | <filter> | ||
| 13 | <filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name> | ||
| 14 | <filter-class>com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class> | ||
| 15 | <init-param> | ||
| 16 | <param-name>encoding</param-name> | ||
| 17 | <param-value>UTF-8</param-value> | ||
| 18 | </init-param> | ||
| 19 | </filter> | ||
| 20 | {code} | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * *xwiki.cfg* : locate the line containing xwiki.encoding and change it to look like this | ||
| 23 | {code} | ||
| 24 | xwiki.encoding = UTF-8 | ||
| 25 | {code} | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | 1.1 HTML encoding | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | Change the HTML encoding in XWiki through Administration --> Preferences --> Presentation --> HTTP Meta information. Inside this textbox locate the *Content-type* meta tag and make it look like this, changing the encoding to UTF-8 | ||
| 30 | {code:xml} | ||
| 31 | <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> | ||
| 32 | {code} | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | 1.1 Hibernate configuration | ||
| 36 | Add the following lines in the <tt>hibernate.cfg.xml</tt> file: | ||
| 37 | {code:xml} | ||
| 38 | <property name="connection.useUnicode">true</property> | ||
| 39 | <property name="connection.characterEncoding">UTF-8</property> | ||
| 40 | {code} | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | 1.1 MySQL configuration | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | It's common practice that the MySQL configuration file, in \*nix systems is located in /etc/mysql/my.cnf | ||
| 45 | {code} | ||
| 46 | [client] | ||
| 47 | default-character-set=utf8 | ||
| 48 | [mysqld] | ||
| 49 | default-character-set=utf8 | ||
| 50 | character-set-server = utf8 | ||
| 51 | collation-server = utf8_general_ci | ||
| 52 | {code} | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | 1.1 Java application server (Tomcat or Jetty for instance) | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | 1.1.1 Jetty | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | {code} | ||
| 59 | echo off | ||
| 60 | rem set LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-1 | ||
| 61 | set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 | ||
| 62 | set JETTY_PORT=8080 | ||
| 63 | set JETTY_HOME=. | ||
| 64 | java %JAVA_OPTS% -Djetty.port=%JETTY_PORT% -Djetty.home=%JETTY_HOME% -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar %JETTY_HOME%/start.jar | ||
| 65 | {code} | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | Instead of config system variable LANG you can use JVM properties | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | {code} | ||
| 70 | -Duser.language=en | ||
| 71 | -Duser.country=US | ||
| 72 | {code} | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | in server startup script. | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | 1.1.1 Tomcat | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | In order to enable UTF-8 in tomcat, you have to add | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | {code} | ||
| 81 | URIEncoding="UTF-8" | ||
| 82 | {code} | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | to each connector enabled/used in *conf/server.xml*. | ||
| 85 | For example the non-SSL HTTP Connector should read: | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | {code:xml} | ||
| 88 | <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" | ||
| 89 | maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" | ||
| 90 | enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" | ||
| 91 | connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" | ||
| 92 | URIEncoding="UTF-8"/> | ||
| 93 | {code} | ||
| 94 | #warn("In case you're using AJP to connect Tomcat and httpd, make sure you add this attribute to the AJP connector.") | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | 1.1 System config | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | Add the following variables to your system | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | {code} | ||
| 101 | LANG = en_US.UTF-8 | ||
| 102 | {code} | ||
| 103 | |||
