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
