[ Encoding ] Console

[pierrejego]

When I use the playbook to install geOrchestra, I have errors with encoding character in console.

Encoding errors comes on all fields.

Step to reproduce :

Création new account with accent in name or any attribut :

Go to admin to validate account, user have good encoding char :

Before validate user :

After validate user and click on save :

Each time I try to update a user I have additional characters, samething on all element from console (User and Organisme)

Before click on save, information are OK in LDAP, after they are wrong.

I have the same console.war manually installed on a tomcat8/debian9 instance and I don't have this issue. I guess it comes from tomcat9 or debian10 but I can't manage to find what is the problem.

I had a look at currents issues in geOrchestra and find some interresting conversation, but no reason why this occured.

georchestra/georchestra#3049
georchestra/georchestra#3021

Does anyone have the same error with this ansible playbook ?

system encoding for tomcat ? iirc we try to force-set it.

I guess it's on master ?

@fvanderbiest I tried 19.04, 20.0.1, 20.0.x and Master war same effect.

@landryb thanks, that was it adding -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in JAVA_OPTS did the trick !! I let the issue open until I have my computer back to create a PR.

well, system locale is set in

ansible/roles/postgresql/tasks/main.yml

Line 1 in 88df630

- name: setting locale

and passed to tomcat in

ansible/roles/tomcat/templates/tomcat.service.j2

Line 11 in 7485996

Environment=LANG={{ system_locale }}

- i see that geoserver already has -Dfile.encoding in

ansible/roles/tomcat/templates/config-geoserver.j2

Line 8 in b648feb

-Dfile.encoding=UTF8 \

(dont remember why) - honestly, i dont know anymore what crap is needed to set the default encoding for tomcat.
