Re: double byte encoding issue.

Hey AC,

There are some notes about using Big5 encoding in the release notes.
I've included it below in case it is helpful.

As I understand it, there are two basic encoding issues, (1) the
encoding with which the file is stored, and (2) the encoding for the output.

The input encoding (1) is controlled by the "TemplateEncoding" property
which you can set in your webmacro.properties file, or via the system
properties collection (see http://webmacro.org/ConfiguringWebMacro).

The output encoding (2) is controlled in various ways. You can set the
TemplateOutputEncoding property in the properties file:

TemplateOutputEncoding=3DBig5

You can also specify the encoding explicitly in your Servlet. See the
following code sample from WMServlet:

public void writeTemplate (String templateName, java.io.OutputStream out,
String encoding, Context context)
throws java.io.IOException, ResourceException, PropertyException
{

if (encoding =3D=3D null)
encoding =3D getConfig(WMConstants.TEMPLATE_OUTPUT_ENCODING);

Template tmpl =3D getTemplate(templateName);
tmpl.write(out, encoding, context);
}

If you use different output encodings for different templates, you may
want to use the #param directive in your templates. WMServlet uses
predefined parameter names, TemplateEncoding, and
TemplateOutputEncoding. Look at the source for WMServlet.execute() for
how this works.

Hope this is helpful.

WebMacro 06-12-2000: RELEASE NOTES
This release fixes a couple of bugs: I'm rolling it up mainly to make
the character encoding fix available to more people.

* Character Encoding
To propertly internationalize characters in WebMacro you must:
1. Set the correct encoding on FastWriter when you create it. WMServlet
defaults to setting it to whatever the HttpServletRequest object asks
for so in WMServlet you may not need to do anything. If you run WM in
standalone mode you must specify the correct encoding when you create a
new FastWriter:


FastWriter fw =3D FastWriter.getInstance(out, "Big5");

For example.

2. If there is internationalized text in your templates then you must
also ensure that the templates are read in correctly by WebMacro. You do
this by setting

TemplateEncoding: Big5

or whatever in your WebMacro.properties. If yoru templates can be read
as UTF-8 (they're ASCII++) then you don't need to do anything.
