UTF - 8 with JPA and Glassfish 4.0

Question

I am having difficulties with UTF-8 characters. This is a simple JSF project. I use JSF 2.2 and Glassfish 4.0

I have a method where I go:

em.persist(         


        

Answer 1

This solved it:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/fus?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&characterSetResults=UTF-8

so this was wrong:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/fus?useUnicode=true&connectionCollation=utf8_general_ci&characterSetResults=utf8
