Fix Tomcat Garbled Text: UTF-8 Guide
There are several ways to solve the encoding problem in Tomcat:
- Set the URIEncoding attribute to UTF-8 in the Connector tag in the server.xml configuration file of Tomcat.
- Use UTF-8 encoding for the URI in the Connector configuration.
- Set character encoding filters for requests and responses in the web.xml configuration file of Tomcat.
- Set up a filter called encodingFilter that uses the class org.apache.catalina.filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter, with the encoding parameter set to UTF-8 and the ignore parameter set to true. The filter is mapped to all URL patterns.
- Add the following code to the head section of the JSP page to set the character encoding of the page to UTF-8.
- <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
Rewrite it in English as follows:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
- In Java code, use UTF-8 encoding to read and write data. For example, set the character encoding for requests and responses to UTF-8.
- Set the character encoding for the request and response to “UTF-8”.
- When using a database, make sure that the character encoding of the database is also set to UTF-8. You can specify the character encoding when connecting to the database.
- The database connection string for my database on localhost is jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8.
