Hello,
I'm facing problem with utf-8 encoding. My application (Spring, hibernate, postgresql) uses UTF-8 and polish national letters. Everything displays properly, but:
When I'm inserting values with polish national letters from jsp page, they are inserted to database in form already encoded to utf-8. That means after inserting polish word zażółcić I have in databse value: zażółcić so I lost several byets from field length. I don't think It's correct behaviour, IMHO client should pass to DB server not encoded value, leaving encoding to DB engine. I don't know, if the problem lays on the hibernate side (I'm not supposing bug, rather my poor skill;)), but maybe it's possible to set somwhere in Hibernate settings to treat strings as UTF-encoded. Maybe someone knows how it should be configured to work properly.
Problem with changing string to UTF-encoded causes error with too long value, although it passes validation.
