[Geoserver-users] Umlaut in WFS filter

Hi,

I rather believe that the request never goes to Geoserver because the ü –character is somehow badly formatted by the client and SAX parser never sends it forward. Your client can for example claim in the headers or in the beginning of XML body that contents are encoded as UTF-8 but u-umlaut is really not encoded in UTF-8.

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

The following GetFeature works OK for me with Geoserver 2.8 for the topp:states featureretype. It does not find anything but does now lead to an error either when I send it from the demo request window:

<wfs:GetFeature service=“WFS” version=“1.1.0”

</wfs:Query>

Hi list,

I have a WFS client that works well with Geoserver when request parameters do not contain umlauts. As soon as there’s an umlaut Geoserver fails to parse the filter. Below is what’s in Geoserver’s log. It seems the request parameter arrives at Geoserver correctly, but somehow geotools cannot parse it. Could someone give me a hint? I’ve searched and found a similar thread but it remains unresolved. I’m using version 2.3.5. Is this already fixed in the latest release?

Thanks!
