Tomcat 8 Unicode filename war file deploy issue

On Linux(openSUSE) machine I'm trying to deploy on Tomcat 8 application(war file) that contains a files with names with Unicode characters.

Inside of the war file the name looks like:

бжк-природний-1496336830201.xml

but after deploy the file looks like:

???-?????????????-1496336830201.xml

How to tell Tomcat to properly deploy the file names ?

UPDATED

This is a sample war file with Unicode file name inside: war file

What is wrong with the file name of the file inside in this war ?

UPDATED

I have installed unzip-rcc as it was suggested here https://superuser.com/questions/1215670/opensuse-unzip-unicode-issue and now unzip(console command) on the WAR file is working fine but Tomcat still deploy the files with the same issue.

Solution

  • Try putting these settings in Tomcat startup script: 

    export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

    From experience, Java will print up-side-down question mark for characters it does not know how to encode.
