I'm using the grails framework have have the following action:
def showText () {
def myInstace = User.get(params.id)
def myText = myService.getText(myInstance.id)
render (text: myText, encoding: "UTF-8", contentType: "text/plain")
}
The above works fine since when I try to see the data returned by this method uding cUrl I get something that is acceptable:
From cUrl
The (<b>quick</b>) [brown] {fox} jumps!
Over the $43,456.78 <lazy> #90 dog
& duck/goose, as 12.5% of E-mail
from aspammer@website.com is spam.
Der ,,schnelle” braune Fuchs springt
iiber den faulen Hund. Le renard brun
<<rapide» saute par-dessus le chien
v ‘$5’ paresseux. La volpe marrone rapida
“TATVPKOY ‘~35 salta sopra_1l cane pigro. El zorro
“ marron répido salta sobre el perro
perezoso. A raposa marrom rzipida
salta sobre o e50 preguicoso.
However, when this loads up on the modalbox is looks like this:
The (quick) [brown] {fox} jumps! Over the $43,456.78 #90 dog & duck/goose,
as 12.5% of E-mail from aspammer@website.com is spam. Der ,,schnelle”

My jQuery code is simple enough:
$('a[id^="myText"]').click (function () {
$.post($(this).data('url'), function (data){
$("#msg").html(data);
});
$('#showText').modal()
});
So, I can't seem to understand what am I doing wrong? The above content is loaded into a div which gets displayed as a modal box. Additionally, my config.groovy
has the UTF-8 settings:
grails.views.gsp.encoding = "UTF-8"
grails.converters.encoding = "UTF-8"
