Configuring International Character Encoding
By default, FME Server tries to detect how your web service handles international character encodings. Beginning with FME Server 2013, you can manually configure the FME Server Web Services and Web User Interface for international character encoding. To do this, you must configure each service and web application separately.
To configure international character encoding for a particular FME Server Web Service or for the Web User Interface:
- Open the web application's deployment descriptor web.xml file. This file is installed at <webAppDir>/WEB-INF/web.xml.
- Find the <filter> element with <filter-name>i18nFilter and <filter-class>COM.safe.web.servlet.CharsetEncodingFilter.
- Add/modify the <init-param> directives to configure international character encodings for this web application according to the table below:
- querystring – Encode query strings in the URI.
- path – Encode the path component of the URI.
- body – Encode the request body for each request.
Parameter Name | Type | Description |
