[xwiki-users] Displaying annotations messes up German Umlaute in page content

22 Mar 2013

      We have an xwiki instance running in tomcat. As database we use mysql.

We followed strictly the install instructions from

   http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat

and

   http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Encoding

The database collation is UTF-8. In all the other files (web.xml, 
server.xml, mysql.cfg and hibernate.cfg.xml) the correct encoding 
(UTF-8) is defined.

The HTML Header of the page has also the correct encoding:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="de" xml:lang="de">
   <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
   ...

However when displaying annotations all German Umlaute in the page are 
messed up.

Bernhard Hopf already submited a Jira issue for this problem, however it 
has been marked as "Unresolved".

http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5913

Has anyone a solution for this problem.
