Hi!

I have problem with setting proper charset on my jsf pages. I use MySql db with latin2 (ISO-8859-2 charset) and latin2_croatian_ci collation. But, I have problems with setting values on backing managed bean properties.

Page directive on top of my page is:

<%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-2" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2" %>

In head I included:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2">

And my form tag is:

<h:form id="entityDetails" acceptcharset="ISO-8859-2">

I've created and registered Filter in web.xml with following doFilter method implementation:

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
    request.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-2");
    response.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-2");
    chain.doFilter(request, response);
}

But, i.e. when I set managed bean property through inputText, all special (unicode) characters are replaced with '?' character.

I really don't have any other ideas how to set charset to pages to perform well. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
