XWiki Character Encoding Configuration
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.
XWiki encoding
Change the charset enconding in these XWiki files :
- web.xml: locate the filter class com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter and change it to UTF-8. It should look like this
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.xpn.xwiki.web.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
- xwiki.cfg : locate the line containing xwiki.encoding and change it to look like this
HTML encoding
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
Hibernate configuration
Add the following lines in the hibernate.cfg.xml file:
<property name="connection.characterEncoding">UTF-8</property>
MySQL configuration
It's common practice that the MySQL configuration file, in *nix systems is located in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
default-character-set=utf8
[mysqld]
default-character-set=utf8
character-set-server = utf8
collation-server = utf8_general_ci
Java application server (Tomcat or Jetty for instance)
Jetty
rem set LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-1
set LANG=en_US.UTF-8
set JETTY_PORT=8080
set JETTY_HOME=.
java %JAVA_OPTS% -Djetty.port=%JETTY_PORT% -Djetty.home=%JETTY_HOME% -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar %JETTY_HOME%/start.jar
Instead of config system variable LANG you can use JVM properties
-Duser.country=US
in server startup script.
Tomcat
In order to enable UTF-8 in tomcat, you have to add
to each connector enabled/used in conf/server.xml. For example the non-SSL HTTP Connector should read:
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
System config
Add the following variables to your system
