Hi,
That line doesn't exist in recent versions of the code, so the fix above
works if you are using a pre-1.1 xwiki. For newer versions instead, you
should make sure the encoding is properly set. For the moment, it is a
bit difficult to do that. Since german characters are part of the latin1
(iso8859-1) encoding, they should work out of the box, so this means
that one of the following is not configured properly:
- the encoding in WEB-INF/web.xml
- the encoding in WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg
- the java vm encoding. This is a bit harder to configure; for Tomcat,
you should add " -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 " to the CATALINA_OPTS
variable in $tomcat_dir$/bin/catalina.sh
