Introduction of non-ASCII characters on Tamino Mobile applic

  • 1.  Introduction of non-ASCII characters on Tamino Mobile applic

    Hi. I hope this is the right forum to discuss technical questions about Tamino Mobile Suite.

    As you maybe know, TMS 1.1.1 has some problems handling non-ASCII characters (e.g. umlauts, accents, etc.) For successfully being able to enter non-ASCII characters in a TMS application, you have to set the client browser to use UTF-8 encoding.

    This is not the default setting, which means that most people will have trouble. Moreover, after stablishing UTF-8, regular web applications that expect ISO-8859-1 will not work with non-ASCII characters.

    So an alternative solution to setting UTF-8 is setting ISO-8859-1 in the application, what can be done by adding the property:

    flow.engine.charset=ISO-8859-1

    to the flow.properties used by the miniEngine. For the engine (online) version I guess you have to do the same in the covigo.properties file, however I’ve not tested it.

    Regards

    That “flow.engine.charset=ISO-8859-1” setting works in miniEngine, but I tested for engine and it does NOT - UTF-8 decoding of parameters is quite wired in code.

    So for online applications there seems to be no other choice than setting the browser encoding.
