Problem with character encoding when uploading an app

oathmind

Activiti 1.5.X

When i upload a app definition with process, forms, and stencils. If ani element.. for example a field name of a form contains extrange characters like accents, they upload inccorecly, for examlpe "Número" -> ""Número".

Otherwise if i upload the form directly in the forms tab (not insede a app) the charset is correct.

Any idea?

Hi,

SOLUTION:

yesterday finally i find the solution.

The problem is with the filesystem on my windows is not UTF-8 by default, and the tomcat instalacion is on windows.

To solve that we simply put this property to the JVM:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

And now i import the accents ok.

But now I find another problem with accents... I will open another question for that I link here to avoid cross topics.

The summary is if I download an app with one of the files have an accent on the filename, if i unzip the file and zip it again and try to upload give me an upload error:
08:53:55,516 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] ERROR com.activiti.service.editor.AlfrescoAppDefinitionService - Error reading app definition zip file
