Description Ken Frank 2007-10-01 15:48:52 UTC

see 102911 for details.

<http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/quickstart-webapps.html>

does not have code or steps that would allow for non ascii characters
to be seen correctly, yet there can be many users who want to use those
in their apps.

Comment 1 Geertjan Wielenga 2007-10-09 15:27:18 UTC

Please tell me exactly how the tutorial in question should be changed. And, does this apply to all of our tutorials?

Comment 2 Ken Frank 2007-10-09 15:39:02 UTC

It could apply to other tutorials if, in doing them, users can't use multibyte or non ascii characters
as part of data or dbase data; that is, if the en user is allowed in tutorial to change some data and it works
ok, then users in other locales should be allowed also.


thus the specifics would be per tutorial and dev team can tell the details.

As I remember about this one or another, for user to be able to use non ascii,
some additional servlet code would be needed to support use of non ascii.
(though am guessing this kind of code would probably be the best anyway since it would
support en and non ascii/multibyte out of the box.)

Comment 3 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2007-10-09 16:02:50 UTC

I think this should be handled in a separate tutorial. This is supposed to be a quickstart tutorial and so needs to
focus on immediate success.

Comment 4 Irina Filippova 2010-02-18 02:00:36 UTC

Nice point about making a separate tutorial on how to enable users use non-ascii characters. Vote for keeping this open to remember about this aspect.

Comment 5 Troy Giunipero 2010-02-18 07:11:15 UTC

I think this issue should be closed.  This might have been a problematic issue in 5.x versions, but the IDE uses UTF-8 by default in its file templates now.

Furthermore, if users need guidance with specific character support in files/web pages they probably should be looking elsewhere for proper documentation on the subject.

Comment 6 Kenneth Ganfield 2011-11-24 11:29:07 UTC

Closing this as wontfix because this is for a very old version of the IDE.
