Simply I have an Issue with Liferay 5.2 SP4 with importing .lar file, only when liferay deployed on Glassfish, when the content have special character (Including non-latin characters like Arabic) with UTF-8 these character will corrupted after importing (all these characters going to be strange symbols or question marks), I tested Importing .lar file with liferay deployed on tomcat but I have no problem, this issue happening only on Glassfish as a Web Application Server (GF 2.1.1 or GF 3.1.1).
I think the key of problem is: "Glassfish uses ISO-8859-1 encoding by default"
So I :
added -DFile.encoding=UTF-8
to Glassfish JVM Options
Followed : Unable to change charset from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 in glassfish 3.1 and I added :
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
</jsp-property-group>
In liferay WEB-INF/web.xml before:
</jsp-config>
and in /config/default-web.xml changed
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
And put "commons-codec-repackaged.jar" into <GLASSFISH_HOME>/modules
like what said in Liferay Administration Book.
But with no luck ! Any solution left, I need it ASAP really :(
Edit: I fixed -DFile.encoding=UTF-8
to -DFile.encoding=UTF8
with no luck too.
