Encoding for subject and text in Activiti Mail Task

[shar]

Can i set encoding for mail subject and text in Activiti Mail Task?

[jbarrez]

I don't know. We're using Apache commons mail - does it have the ability to set the encoding?

[shar]

first, even setCharset

althhough I use such construction now in implementation TaskListener

mail.setSubject(new String(delegateTask.getName().getBytes("KOI8_R"),"ISO-8859-1"));

[jbarrez]

So, is your String encoding correct at that point?

So adding the setCharSet to the mail sending would fix your issue?

[shar]

Yes. I checked. Using setCharset solve my problem.

Ok, I created http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-781

While setting email charset is possible in XML, the Designer does not have an UI field to specify it.
It seems logical to me that just putting utf-8 unconditionally in generated XML will be sufficient for almost any purpose.
Currently, the email tasks with non-ASCII character (designed in Designer) arrives as
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitwith diacritics symbols replaced with '?'.

Should a open an issue for this?

[jbarrez]

Yes, should be easy to fix.

Also mention in the issue the need for the field in the designer.
