Issue

1. add the osgi config file attached to the osgi/config directory

2. start the liferay server

3. go to system settings to the comments section

Expected result:
discussionEmailBody property has "Mit freundlichen Grüßen" text inside body text

Actual result:
discussionEmailBody property contains "Mit freundlichen Grüßen"

Environment

  • DXP 7.2

Resolution

  • The felix.fileinstall.configEncoding system property has to be set accordingly.
  • Add the line module.framework.properties.felix.fileinstall.configEncoding=UTF-8 to your portal-ext file, or
  • Add the line felix.fileinstall.configEncoding=UTF-8 to a system-ext.properties in the bundle where the system properties can be picked up during startup.
    For example, in Tomcat, tomcat-root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/
