We have been looking at this framework for an intranet site… it led to my realisation that Java really made things pretty difficult to display international character sets… but that was an earlier post.
I followed most of the instructions in developing a Spring Framework MVC, though I didn’t create a JDBC based persistence layer. We’ll be using hibernate; and we’ll probably be operating around (or over) a web services layer.
Rant: We use eclipse as a Java IDE - which also seems to generate all files as ANSI, even though they are UTF8 in eclipse. And Tomcat as the container, if you check out the tomcat/work directory, you’ll discover that JSP is also output as ANSI files. Luckily, these seem to finish up looking correct. The ANSI becomes UTF8 (if desired) somewhere… probably in the TCP layer… perhaps only God, الل, 三清, 風神, 佛陀, or Δίας, would know.
You can download the step by step spring mvc eclipse project (excluding jdbc - 14Mb) from this website.
