Hi Edoeard,

Try adding parameter CHARSET:

/// Main TDF REST service entry point
Class TDF.Main Extends %CSP.REST
{

Parameter CHARSET = "UTF-8";ObjectScript
ObjectScript

Hi Manel

I tryed this parameter. response is still {"text":"Pati�nt:"}

I did use other Extends than you is It matter? Extends EnsLib.REST.Service

I would file this with WRC. The settings documentation suggest that you can specify the in- and output encoding with the Charset (Tekenset) setting. That implies that you should set that to utf-8, but that doesn't actually work. From looking at the source code, it appears that the business service (EnsLib.REST.Service) hardcodes a %GlobalBinaryStream response stream, which will output the bytes as they are.

As a workaround you could convert (encode) the stream to UTF-8 yourself before sending it.
