RE: [WEB400] Re: webfacing first try error:

[troym@xxxxxxxxx]

I am using the WebSphere v4.0 Test Environment Server Instance right now
when I get the error about UTF-8.

(I haven't added the Tomcat server instance yet.  We do have it, but I
haven't figured out how to add it yet.)

In WDS, in the Servers Perspective, on the Environment tab for my test
server, I have the client.encoding.override value set to UTF-8, like the
manual said to.  I have saved the change and restarted the server and the
application.  When I launch the Start page it brings up my 5250 screen in
the browser.  When press F3 I get the UTF-8 error.

Thank you for responding with your helpful comments.

Please let us know if Greg's post helped; perhaps it needs to go into the
FAQ!

Here are other options to consider:

I found out how to make tomcat  4.1.9 able to respond whith utf-8.

I just copied the following lines from example application together whith
the relevant folder and now it works.
(I also adjusted the param-value EUC_JP to UTF-8)

Good luck anyone trying to work whit the tomcat server.

<!-- Example filter to set character encoding on each request -->
<filter>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<filter-class>filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>

<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<!-- <param-value>EUC_JP</param-value> -->
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>

</init-param>
</filter>

<!-- Example filter mapping to apply the "Set Character Encoding" filter to
*all* requests processed by this web application -->

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<!-- Define example application events listeners -->

<listener-class>listeners.ContextListener</listener-class>

<listener>
<listener-class>listeners.SessionListener</listener-class>

Harry Tian offers this advice

Just disable the UTF-8 support in your WF project, because you couldn't
configure UTF-8 support in Tomcat. If your application is in English, it
should be OK. Please follow the instruction on how to setup WF project in
VAJ WTE.

There is wfapp.properties file in conf subdirectory,
1) if you are using WDT5.1+SP5:
set parmeter {WFWTE} = true
2) if you are using WDSC4.0+SP1
set parmeter {WFForce_UTF8} = true

Note, we do NOT officially support Webfaced application running in Tomact.
The application server we support is: IBM WebSphere Application Server (
V4.0 AE, V4.0 AEs, V3.5.x AE, V3.5.x SE)
