使用Spring 4 + Hibernate 4插入DB非英语字符

Question

I have Spring 4 + Hibernate 4 + MySQL web application. I need initialize DB tables when app are starting. For this goal I use import.sql file and set Hibernate hbm2ddl.auto to create . When Hibernate execute requests I have hieroglyphs in DB. I try use

<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/foxrest_db?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8&amp;characterSetResults=UTF-8" />

for connection, but it has no effect.

I think Spring open files with standard system environment encoding (in my case it's Windows 8.1, encoding: win1251), that's why all Hibernate configurations has no effect.

My question is:

1.How can I fix this?

2.If I will use PostgreSQL in future what I will change in DB connection or another configs?

Here is my sources:

Answer 1

I think the character encoding property for the JVM needs to be set.

Have you tried starting the Java App with this: java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

If you are using Tomcat, then you may have to set this System property in one of the Tomcat's (catalina) script files.

Note: In past I have used only ISO-8559-1. both the Java app, and the Database were set to ISO-8559-1

UPDATE:

If maven surefire plugin is being used, then system property should be given according to this link: http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html

Note that the website mentions special case for JVM system properties: <argLine>-Djava.endorsed.dirs=...</argLine>
