I have my application.properties
set up like this :
spring.datasource.username = root
spring.datasource.password = root
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.show-sql = true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
And In my pom.xml
I have property set up like this :
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
<start-class>toyanathapi.Application</start-class>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>
My entity :
@Entity
public class DailyRashifalEntity {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
private String date;
private int rollno;
private String name;
//Constructors and getters/setters
}
Problem 1: If I use the above setup I get the exception
java.sql.SQLException: Incorrect string value: '\xE0\xA4\xA7\xE0\xA4\xBE...
Problem 2 : If I change the datasource url into this :
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname
The unicodes in my database get saved like this
29 | 2074-03-04 | 3 | ?????????????? ?????,?????? ??????, ??????????? ????? ? ???? ???? ???? ??????
How can I save them in Mysql like they are in unicode instead of getting all the unicode data converted into ????????
.
In your /etc/mysql/my.cnf
file change the following.
[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8
[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
Keep your hibernate configuration Like this
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8
And Change your DB Collation Like this
ALTER TABLE tablename CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

See "question marks" in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38363566/trouble-with-utf8-characters-what-i-see-is-not-what-i-stored .
Also,
⚈ spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.connection.characterEncoding=utf-8
⚈ spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.connection.CharSet=utf-8
⚈ spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.connection.useUnicode=true
Non of the answer worked for me … except the url encoding part.
The solution in my case is twofold:
1- Add encoding in the URL of Database config bean:
<property name="jdbcUrl" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/customersdb?useSSL=false&useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8&characterSetResults=UTF-8" />
2- Add this configuration to your dispatcher config file:
<filter>
<filter-name>encoding-filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>encoding-filter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
Otherwise, other configurations don't take effect.
