Full UTF8 support

Special characters causing errors

Problem

The default support for UTF8 is 3 byte.

Using 4 byte UTF content in text areas, can cause errors, that looks like

  java.sql.SQLException: Incorrect string value: '\xC2\x96 Z. ...' for column 'NOTES' at row 1

Solution

Update the database to full UTF8 support using the following command

  main?command=dk.p2e.blanket.codeunit.common.PageConvertDatabaseToUTF8

Note an administration profile is needed to complete the operation.

You might also have to update the tomcat server.xml file.

You have to add useBodyEncodingForURI="true" to the connectors.
