Oh! Good to know. Happy to hear it wasn't the Appian side.

Turned out the editor of the receiving side was just not set right to display the UTF-8 characters correctly. Doh!

Pretty sure that's what needs to be "fixed".

OK. So maybe it's the smart service which sends the JMS then?

I am surprised because a regular function should be returning plain text with nothing associated to it, it might be the smart service where you are using this and not the rule what is setting the encoding.

No, before I was just using a regular function. I am just thinking that this will probably only work if the encoding ist ISO_8859_1. Would be good to find out somehow which encoding the regular function returns.

Is that how you were initially returning the string? with a custom function?

Your function should do the trick.

OK. Thanks. I'll try now with this custom function:

@Function
          public String convertStringToUtf8(ServiceContext sc, @Parameter String string) throws AppianException {
                    byte ptext[] = string.getBytes(ISO_8859_1);
                    String utf8String = new String(ptext, UTF_8);
                    return utf8String;
          }

I don't think this setting applies to your environment unless you're using JBoss. This setting is to ensure that the application server receives the request parameters in the correct encoding from client requests.

The property you mentioned is not in the installation notes, is it? Which parts of the application does it affect?

Thanks, Moritz

The rule is generating an input for a CSV file.

1. What about this other one:

-Dorg.apache.catalina.connector.URI_ENCODING=UTF-8

do you have it in the app server settings?

2. What is the type of output the rule is generating?

PS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 is set on the application server
