Encoding issue in html:form with Struts 1.2

Question

I have an application with Struts 1.2 and in a .jsp I've created a form using html tag, this is part of my code:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html-el" prefix="html" %>
...
<html:form action="/myAction" method="post">
...
  <display:table name="ListOfEntries" sort="external" requestURI="/myEntryAction.do" uid="row">
  ...
    <display:column titleKey="label.label" sortable="true" sortProperty="label">
      <span id="staticlabel<c:out value="${row.id}" />">
        <bean:write name="row" property="label" />
      </span>
      <html:text name="MyEntryForm" property="editedEntry.label" value="${row.label}" disabled="true" style="display:none" size="35"/>
    </display:column>

So, when a edit an entry with a special character Ç, in my MyEntryForm I get it as Ã.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I'm using Weblogic.

Answer 1

I found what was the problem.

In the question I forgot to mention that I'm using Weblogic as server. Debugging with Firefox or Chrome I checked that the request from my browser was correct, with the correct character, so it had to be the server.

In my project, I have a weblogic.xml, with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<weblogic-web-app
    xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90
    http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/weblogic-web-app.xsd">

<description>My Struts Application</description>

<context-root>RootOfMyApplication</context-root>

<container-descriptor>
    <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
    <show-archived-real-path-enabled>true</show-archived-real-path-enabled>
</container-descriptor>

</weblogic-web-app>

And I adding this the problem was solved:

<charset-params>
    <input-charset>
        <resource-path>/*</resource-path>
        <java-charset-name>UTF-8</java-charset-name>
    </input-charset>
</charset-params>
