Issue

  • When exporting some settings from Control Panel → System Settings, the resulting OSGi config file will be UTF-8 encoded. However, at the next startup, when reading that file, Liferay does not assume that it is UTF-8 encoded and therefore special Unicode characters (eg.: Japanese or Korean language) appear wrongly after that.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.2

Resolution

  • Set one of the following properties:
    • module.framework.properties.felix.fileinstall.configEncoding=UTF-8 in portal-ext.properties or
    • felix.fileinstall.configEncoding=UTF-8 in system-ext.properties

Additional Information

  • The fix (LPS-117190) is planned to be released in Fix Pack 8
