Hibernate localization

set charset on the hibernate.cfg.xml

<property name="hibernate.connnection.charSet">UTF-8</property>

The following is my sessionfactory

<bean id="sessionFactory"
            class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
            <property name="dataSource">
                  <ref bean="dataSource" />
            </property>
            <property name="mappingDirectoryLocations">
                  <list>
                        <value>dataObjects</value>
                  </list>
            </property>

            <property name="hibernateProperties">
                  <props>
                        <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">
                              ${hibernate.show_sql}
                        </prop>
                        <prop key="hibernate.dialect">
                              ${hibernate.dialect}
                        </prop>

                        <prop key="jta.UserTransaction">
                              java:comp/UserTransaction
                        </prop>
                        <prop key="hibernate.connnection.charSet">UTF-8</prop>
                                                <prop key="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">
                              org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory
                        </prop>

                        
                        <prop key="hibernate.cache.use_structured_entries">
                              true
                        </prop>
                        <prop key="hibernate.generate_statistics">true</prop>
                        <prop key="hibernate.cache.use_minimal_puts">true</prop>
                        <prop key="hibernate.query.factory_class">
                              org.hibernate.hql.classic.ClassicQueryTranslatorFactory
                        </prop>

                  </props>
            </property>
      </bean>

I am getting all question marks :-(

> I am getting all question marks :-(
where?

in the result page the where i am displaying the data.

I am using User Transaction, not using the direct connection.
All this is with the combination of spring

IS the problem in the database or in the display page? Can you read the characters in the dataabse?

how are you printing the response - may be there there is loss of data.

result is a DO
<ibaBean:write name="result" property="utfText" />

What is the output when you directly query it from the db? is that also giving the same special characters, then the CHAR SET used by the db and that by hibernate is different, execute the following query and find the charatecter set used by db and use the same

SELECT VALUE
  FROM nls_database_parameters
 WHERE parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'

There ia no problem with Hibernate in this case.
This is all due to Struts. It's resolved.
Thanks and sorry

Can you post the solution?

Here it goes


Added the filter in the web.xml
      <filter>
            <filter-name>UTF8Filter</filter-name>
            <filter-class>
                  filters.UTF8Filter
            </filter-class>
      </filter>



public class UTF8Filter implements Filter {

      public void destroy() {
      }

      public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
                  FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
            request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF8");
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
      }

      public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
      }

}

Nice :)
