[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBPORTAL-1550) charset encoding with commons-fileupload-1.1.1

charset encoding with commons-fileupload-1.1.1 ---------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-1550 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1550 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Portal CMS Affects Versions: 2.6 Final Environment: JBoss as from http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/tags/JBoss_4_0_5_GA_CP06, JBoss Portal from http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/portal/trunk since 9 july 2007 Reporter: Luca Stancapiano Assigned To: Sohil Shah Fix For: 2.6.1 Final Attachments: CMSAdminPortlet.java there is a problem in the portal using commons-fileupload 1.1.1 libs because this lib isn't compatible 100% with current version of tomcat (5.5.23) into jboss 4.0.5. When org.jboss.portal.core.cms.ui.admin.CMSAdminPortlet class try to use getString() method of org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItem class, it try to get the default character encoding from header into InputStream of HttpServletRequest. But tomcat 5.5.23 splits header from InputStream. Header of request can to be taken only through getHeader() method of HttpServletRequest and since upper commons-fileupload 1.0 libs it is not done. The result is that , using getString() method, you don't use UTF-8 character encoding and in many cases you cannot decode the item. In my case I try to pass characters as à, è, ì, ò, ù and I see bad characters as results. Instead to back to commons-fileuload-1.0 libs,the simpliest solution for this problem is to pass the charset encoding to getString method in this manner: org.jboss.portal.core.cms.ui.admin.CMSAdminPortlet : row 951 if ("destination".equals(fieldName)) { sPath = item.getString(aReq.getCharacterEncoding()); } instead of: if ("destination".equals(fieldName)) { sPath = item.getString(); } so it is ok
