Classloader settings
Confluence 3.0
Confluence 3.0 uses the Plugins 2 framework. The default classloader settings for WebSphere interferes with Plugins 2 dependencies.
The solution is to ensure your WebSphere application is configured with the following settings:
- Application classloader policy to SINGLE
- Application classloader mode to child-first
Please refer to Running on WebSphere 6.1 for more details.
Oracle and Data Sources
Please use a direct JDBC connection instead. See CONF-3580 for more details.
Configuring Encoding
I am having trouble with the £ and € characters
Confluence allows you to specify which character encoding should be used for its requests. To use the £ and € characters, you will need to use the "UTF-8" option. However, in some cases, WebSphere will encode the characters using ISO-8859-1 before they get to Confluence. If you have set the Confluence character encoding to "UTF-8" and are having problems, have a look at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/j2ee/encoding.jsp for an explaination of WebSphere and Character encoding. In particular, the -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8 system property allows you to override WebSpheres defaults.
