CXF RS and JAX-WS encoded content unreadable

My Issue is 2-fold and it has to do with the encoding. I have a REST web application deployed on JBoss 7.1.1. This has adapters to an external web service for which I have created stubs with CXF java2wsdl from the provided WSDLs. During the request/responses to this external web service requests & responses can contain Bulgarian encoded content.

The issue is that this encoded content is not correctly sent/consumed by my REST services nor by my SOAP adapters whilst it is from SOAPUI. Below is an example

REST CALL passes the parameter "Тест Тест" as

@PathParam("receiverName") String receiverName

The Header contains charset=UTF-8

Server Log using the cxf logging interceptor logs the following

--------------------------------------
 Inbound Message
----------------------------
ID: 32
Address:     http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/request/card/10122083/%D0%A2%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%20%D0%A2%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82/1234124143312
Encoding: UTF-8
Http-Method: POST
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
    Headers: {Accept=[application/json], accept-encoding=[gzip, deflate], accept-language=    [en-gb,en;q=0.5], cache-control=[no-cache], connection=[keep-alive], Content-Length=[313],     content-type=[application/json; charset=UTF-8], host=[127.0.0.1:8080], pragma=[no-cache],     user-agent=[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1]}
----------------------------

The parameter now printed in a log by my code has the value "???? ????"

On the backend when I receive content in bulgarian again I have the issue, below is the example of such a response

Encoding: UTF-8
Content-Type: text/xml
Headers: {Accept=[*/*],

The request was sent with Headers above according to the log and wireshark and the response is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
ID: 2
Response-Code: 200
Encoding: ISO-8859-1
Content-Type: text/xml
Headers: {Content-Length=[1011], content-type=[text/xml], Server=[IRS/1.0.18.0 guz]}

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The issue can be seen in the 

                                <City>Р?Р°С?РЅР°</City>
                            <Address>жк. Чайка</Address>

whilst in SOAPUI the result is correct

<City>Варна</City>
<Address>жк. Чайка</Address>

Any thoughts what the problem is and how to solve it?

Solution

  • Might it be that the logging facilities are not recording output as UTF-8? If you are using log4j, try adding 

    <param name="Encoding" value="UTF-8"/>

    to its configuration.
