How can I make this code to submit a UTF-8 form te

I am having problems submitting forms which contain UTF-8 strings with Ajax. I am developing a Struts web application which runs in a Tomcat server. This is the environment I set up to work with UTF-8:

I have added the attributes URIEncoding="UTF-8" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" into the Connector tag to Tomcat's conf/server.xml file.
I have a utf-8_general_ci database

I am using the next filter to ensure my request and responses are encoded in UTF-8

package filters;

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;

public class UTF8Filter implements Filter {
    public void destroy() {}

    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request,ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
        throws IOException, ServletException {
        request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        chain.doFilter(request, response);
    }

    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
    }
}

I use this filter in WEB-INF/web.xml

I am using the next code for my JSON responses:

public static void populateWithJSON(HttpServletResponse response,JSONObject json)
{
   String CONTENT_TYPE="text/x-json;charset=UTF-8";
   response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
   response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
   try {
        response.getWriter().write(json.toString());
   } catch (IOException e) {
    throw new ApplicationException("Application Exception raised in RetrievedStories", e);
   }
}

Everything seems to work fine (content coming from the database is displayed properly, and I am able to submit forms which are stored in UTF-8 in the database). The problem is that I am not able to submit forms with Ajax. I use jQuery, and I thought the problem was the lack of contentType field in the Ajax request. But I was wrong. I have a really simple form to submit comments which contains of an id and a body. The body field can be in different languages such as Spanish, German, or whatever.

If I submit my form with body textarea containing contraseña, Firebug shows me:

Request Headers

Host localhost:8080

Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1, utf-8;q=0.7;*q=0.7

Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset UTF-8

If I execute Copy Location with parameters in Firebug, the encoding seems already wrong:

http://localhost:8080/Cerepedia/corporate/postStoryComment.do?&body=contrase%C3%B1a&id=88

This is my jQuery code:

function addComment() {
    var comment_body = $("#postCommentForm textarea").val();
    var item_id = $("#postCommentForm input:hidden").val();
    var url = rooturl+"corporate/postStoryComment.do?";
    $.post(url, { id:  item_id, body: comment_body } ,
        function(data){
        /* Do stuff with the answer */
    }, "json");  }

A submission of a form with jQuery is causing the next error server side (note I am using Hibernate).

I had the same problem also and I fixed it in this way:

In PHP, before storing the data in the database, I used the htmlentities() function. And during showing the data, I used the html_entity_decode() function. This worked. I strongly hope this will work for you too.

As the exception is a jdbc error, your best approach is to capture the input before it is sent to the database.

java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Incorrect string value: '\xF1a' for column 'body' at row 1

A single character is causing the exception.

It may be the case that you will need to override some characters manually. You will find, when working with non-latin-alphabet languages (as I do), that this is a common pain.

I'm having the same problem. I saw Internet Explorer 8 sends this header:

content-type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded

while Firefox sends this:

content-type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8

My solution was just forcing in jQuery to use the Firefox content-type:

$.ajaxSetup({ scriptCharset: "utf-8" ,contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8" });

I see this problem a lot. The meta doesn't work always in your PHP data operations, so just type this at the beginning:

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');  ?>

have you tried adding the following before the call :

$.ajaxSetup({ 
    scriptCharset: "utf-8" , 
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
});

The options are explained here.

contentType : When sending data to the server, use this content-type. Default is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", which is fine for most cases.

scriptCharset : Only for requests with 'jsonp' or 'script' dataType and GET type. Forces the request to be interpreted as a certain charset. Only needed for charset differences between the remote and local content.
