Jersey REST WS - 请求正文 UTF-8

Question

I have simple Jersey REST webServices:

@POST
@Path("/label")
@Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)      
public Response setLabels(String requestBody) { 
    System.out.println(requestBody);
......
}

Request passes some text with "special" non-English characters

 [{"За обекта"}]

I can see in Firebug that request passed with correct UTF-8 content and charset

Content-Type    text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Though on on server output does not present desirable charset:

  [{"?? ??????"}]

Any Idea what and were went wrong? How can I capture text in correct charset on server side?

Answer 1

System.out is a PrintStream . It uses the platform default encoding, which is typically not UTF-8. So you are getting the correct data in, it's just getting mangled when you print it to the console.

I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago - drove me nuts until I figured it out. What made it worse is that I actually had an encoding-related bug in another part of the code.
