Hi Everyone,
I'm extending a Java web application for my company, and it's probably
time to internationalize it in order to handle unicode characters. It
currently works with the latin1 character set exclusively. Most of this
need is driven by the desire to stop the app's habit of mangling text
pasted from MS Word into textarea fields in the web interface.
I've tried to simply change the encoding of the pages and database
tables to UTF-8 along with the html metatags that specify the character
encoding, and the machine's locale is already set to en_US.UTF-8, but
that didn't do the trick. I've also read the i18n section of Sun's Java
tutorial, but I'm confused about the steps needed to internationalize a
webapp, Sun's tutorial only covers a simple command-line app.
Would anyone be willing to share some tidbits of wisdom on this topic?
Thank You,
Troy
