java - utf8 charset with Thymeleaf

Question

When using Spring with Thymeleaf all my Cyrillic characters are shown as ????? on pages.

Using

@RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "text/html; charset=utf-8")

as it was suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11866822/1479414 and here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12023816/1479414 doesn't help.

How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

The answer can be found here:

Property characterEncoding should be explicitly set for templateResolver and ThymeleafViewResolver:

<bean id="templateResolver" class="org.thymeleaf.templateresolver.ServletContextTemplateResolver">
    ...
    <property name="characterEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
    ...
</bean>

<bean class="org.thymeleaf.spring4.view.ThymeleafViewResolver">
    ...
    <property name="characterEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
    ...
</bean>
