WildFly 26.1.3.Final - file.encoding issue

[Andrea]

Hello,

I'm using WildFly 26.1.3.Final on JDK 17 on Linux server.

file.econding property is not directly configured in WildFly, so the JVM default is considered (UTF-8). In the code of the ear deployed on WildFly, there's no line to set file.encoding.

WildFly usually (99.9%) starts with the correct file.encoding, sometimes it happens that file.encoding is changed to  ANSI_X3.4-1968 , causing a lot of issues in emails and files generated by the application. A restart is needed to fix this wrong behaviour.

Do you have any idea where I should start looking at? Could it be an issue of one of the libraries provided with WildFly ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Andrea,

There's nothing in the WildFly or WildFly Core code that is setting that system property. It's possible some library we integrate does it, but I doubt it.

Maybe others in the community have some idea?

Best regards,

Brian
