Hi Mickael,

Please can you send IPT messages to the IPT list in future? http://lists.gbif.org/mailman/listinfo/ipt

Can you please tell me the connection URL that you have for the dataset?  You might try something like the following:
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/specimen_collections?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8&characterSetResults=UTF8

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,


I am testing IPT 2 and NRM RingedBirds is the guinea pig.

Well, I have some issue with the encoding because, while swedish characters
work fine with TapirLink (see http://www.gbif.se/tapir/tapir_client.php,
choose NRM-RingedBirds and make an inventory over StateProvince), it's a
mess with IPT, both as a preview and as a zipped file. For instance 'Närke'
is displayed as 'Närke'. This happens regardless of the character encoding
chosen under /source.do. The original data is UTF8, but then I don't know if
any settings in tomcat need to be changed.

Do you have some knowledge about this issue? I am very bad at java, so I
don't know where to look (and issue 418 doesn't help).


Cheers,
Mickaël
