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.
Please tell me exactly how the tutorial in question should be changed. And, does this apply to all of our tutorials?
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.) ken.frank@sun.com
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.
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.
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.
Closing this as wontfix because this is for a very old version of the IDE.
