Question

I have a Wicket 1.4 app. My .html files are in UTF-8.

But when rendered, the page is doubly-encoded, like if the UTF-8 content was treated as cp1250 and converted to UTF8.

Maven’s pom.xml:

<properties>
  <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>
...
<plugin>
  <inherited>true</inherited>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <source>1.6</source>
    <target>1.6</target>
    <optimize>true</optimize>
    <debug>true</debug>
    <encoding>utf-8</encoding>
 </configuration>
</plugin>

Any ideas what should I check?

Update: I’ve found the answer, see below. However, can I set the default encoding which should be used when reading resources? Setting Within the application is preffered over env vars.

Thanks,
Ondra

Answer 1

org.apache.wicket.settings.Settings have a setDefaultMarkupEncoding() method, which should do what you want.
