Invalid characters displayed in java-based tool

I'm having problems with a java applet that works fine on the vast majority of PCs, with 1 exception. The one in question runs Windows 7 32 bit professional, IE8. Java versions 27,29, and 31 have been tried, with the same results.
There are several fields, each of which has a title and a default value. On a working PC, the field names are:
Mortgage amount:
Term:
Interest rate:
Monthly payment (PI):
Annual property taxes:
Annual home insurance:
Monthly payment (PITI):
On a PC that its not working:
Kn` mHmendl `shmm9
Lnqsf` fd `l nt ms9
Hmsdqdrsq` sd9
Lnmaglx o` xl dms` OH(9
@mt ` koqnodqsx s wdr 9
@mt ` kgnl d hmtq` mbd9
L nmaglx o`xl dms ' OHSH(9#371-1/
There are more fields, but that's an example. it may not be exactly correct, since the spacing and character overlap makes it hard to differentiate some characters.
All the browser troubleshooting has been done (reset, cleared temps, deleted active X objects etc.)
Cleared all local cache, java cache and ran ccleaner
Checked Windows region, language, currency etc settings
Tried to reinstall java, tried 3 different versions (27, 29, 31)
Tried the local Admin profile and problem persists across multiple profiles.
If anyone has any ideas about which settings could possibly cause this character translation, I would be very appreciative. There appers to be a 1:1 correlation of characters, for example:
# = $
/ = 0
: = 9
R = S
Could it be some kind of java / unicode setting?

If I could post a picture it might help explain...

Uploaded, hopefully you can view it.
We've reset the browser, even tried IE9, with the same result. There's no toolbars installed and machine tested clean for adware. With no java installed, the webpage displays sans mortgage calculator. What seems strange is that some of the text displays properly, as you can see in the picture, so that's why I wonder if its just one particular font that's not being displayed properly? The entire rest of the web page, and everything else that uses java works fine, it seems like it's just this one particular calculator.
It's at the point where the OS may just need to be reinstalled, though it seems like a small, petty thing to reinstall the OS for... but without a solution i don't really have any other options.

  • Not able to edit fileds in java based tools after upversioning to 1.7.0_06.

    Hello experts,
    In our project, we use one java based tool(not mentioning the name because it is project specific).
    We recenlty upversioned our java version from 1.6.0_29 to 1.7.0_06. After upversioning the java, our java based tool is not functioning properly. Few fileds became non-editable. The issue is coming when only xlaunch is used to connect to the lab. That too issue is coming when multiple windows are selected in xlaunch. If I use single-window option then the tool works fine. The tool also works fine if I directly launch it from exceed/xterm(not from xlaunch). Hence the problem is coming with the combination of jre 1.7.0_06 and xlaunch(multiple windows).
    Can anyone kindly help me how to rectify this problem..
    Best wishes....
    Bhargav

    Are you using any operating system? To my experience buttons and fields in java can conflict with fancy windowing settings, such as 3D visual effects, etc. I suggest to disable anything related on your client system.

  • PCG Seed Data Invalid characters displayed in FRC

    Hi, I'm not certain this is the correct forum or not.
    Customer has PCG 7.3.2 on 11i, using FRC.
    Many menus and concurrent program names & messages (all seed data) that use accents, are displaying garbled characters.
    eg: GRC Controls : Règles associées aux écrans
    when viewed through TOAD, Data looks the same, yet non PCG seed data with same words have the correct french accented characters.
    NLS character set is WE8ISO8859P1, not UTF8. (which is standard in 11i FRC installs).
    As per the PCG install guide, I have tried using both files (for UTF8 & WE8ISO8859P1) in $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/admin/resource/FRC, but the results do not change.
    I think this may have had something to do with environment setting used during the installation process.
    I would like to experiment with this, but cannot find the scripts/files that actually seed the FRC data for seeded menus and concurrent programs.
    Can anybody guide to to these ? or provide an alternative or known (I can't find one) solutiuon ?

    Hi Srini,
    When customer is viewing output from the SRS window, then it contains invalid characters because it is in UTF-8 character set. Customer is on Oracle OnDemand so they cannot take the output generated on the server.Every time they have to raise a request to Oracle for the output file. So the concern here is, why don't the output from SRS window show output with valid characters ?
    The reason could be conversion of ISO format to UTF-8. How could this be resolved ? Does SRS window output cannot generate in ISO format ?
    A quick reply will be appreciated as customer is chasing for an update.
    Thanks,

    I don't know the reason for this problem. Can anyone suggest me some other better testing tool?
    What testing tool does Sun Microsystems use test Java?
    Thanks.

    I am just re framing my question in hope of getting a response.
    I am exploring the possibilities of establishing a telnet/ssh session with a webserver from a client outside the enterpise network.Here i have to overcome the restriction imposed by the firewall. Is there any tool for http tunneling which will allow the client to establish ssh session??
    Any info on this will be very helpfull.

  • Volume Activation Management Tool invalid characters bug.

    I have a Multiple Activation Key from my Technet subscription for Windows 8 Enterprise, and wanted to
    find out how many activations I am allowed, and how many I have left. I was advised by a colleague to
    download and install the Volume Activation Management Tool 2.0 from Microsoft.
    Whilst using this tool, I've found what appears to be a rather serious bug. It does not allow entry of the
    product key I wish to manage. If I copy/paste the key under Add Product Keys, it deliberately ignores
    one of the characters in the second section of the product key, specifically the letter N.
    If I attempt to enter the key manually, it says Invalid character in the product key when I come to this
    particular letter. On further investigation, VAMT 2.0 sees several other letters as invalid characters.
    It wrongly says all of the following letters are invalid characters - A - E - I - L - N - O - U - S - Z .
    This bug makes it impossible to add the product key, and almost impossible to add any other key.

    Hello,
    Which problem are you referring to?
    The first issue was with VAMT not recognizing some the characters in the newer product keys, the solution for that is to use VAMT 3.0 or preferably VAMT 3.1 now.
    the second issue is the prompt to create a database and all you need to do is enter a name on the database line and it will create one( leave the Server line alone.)
    Thanks, Darrell Gorter [MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
    Tried that ... it doesn't work. I type my machine name into the Database line and after a few seconds I get this . . .
    Running SQL Server Express, the server name is listed as DJGMPC/SQLEXPRESS, so I put that in the Server line
    and type the machine name DJGMPC in the Database line, and VAMT finally establishes a connection with
    this SQL Server that shouldn't really be needed in the first place, when VAMT2 managed OK without it.

  • Renaming files with invalid characters in their names on NTFS partitions, introduced by operating systems other than Windows

    Essentially, Linux created some files with colons (:) in the name on a NTFS partition where I have Windows installed. I have since uninstalled Linux, but now I can only view these files in Windows Explorer. I can't open them, I can't even rename them to
    correct the problem. It's as if they don't exist, because of the invalid search paths.
    If I try to rename them in Windows Explorer I get following message.
    The file name you specified is no valid or too long.
    Specify a different file name.
    Well isnt' that something?... isn't that nice? Windows is able to display these files, but it doesn't allow me to open them and it certainly doesn't like me to rename them. So why is it whining about it then, when I'm trying to help? It says "try a different
    file name". Yeah, right! Like I haven't tried that one already! It doesn't matter what file name I input it will never accept it.
    So what am I supposed to do now? Ditch Windows and go back to Linux? Surely, Microsoft doesn't like the sound of that. Sure, I could reinstall Linux or run a Linux live system to correct the problem. But what good is Windows then? I might as well switch to
    Linux altogether.
    After doing some research I now know by fact that it's (kind of) possible to rename files from UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems to those compliant with Windows by using something called file name character translation. To some level this is essential and
    necessary for Windows interoperability with other operating systems (Windows is not the only operating system in the world). But this seems to be very complicated and I can't get my head around it. My brain is in overload. I don't know where to start.
    Once there was a...
    There's the Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. The first two versions were based on MKS Toolkit, a package licensed by Microsoft from MKS Inc. The later versions were based on the similar Interix product, after Microsoft purchased the company
    that made it.
    Then there's the new Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA). These are services for UNIX components. They are supposed to have Client for NFS v3 included as well. But the server components from the SFU line is missing (e.g. Server for NFS). These are included
    in Server editions of Windows.
    Then there's the Microsoft Knowledge Base article
    289627: "How to Enable File Name Character Translation". This article seems to describe exactly my situation.
    Windows and UNIX operating systems have restrictions on valid characters that can be used in a file name. The list of illegal characters for each operating system, however, is different. For example, a UNIX file name can use a colon (:), but a Windows
    file name cannot use a colon (:). If a UNIX user attempts to create a file with a Windows illegal character on a Windows Services for UNIX network file system (NFS) share, the attempt is unsuccessful and the UNIX client computer receives an input or output
    error.
    It goes further than that. At first glance, this KB article also seems to offer a solution to this exact problem, with examples as shown below.
    For example, the following maps the UNIX colon (:) to a Windows dash (-):
    0x3a : 0x2d ; replace client : with - on server
    I checked these values in charmap.exe and they are correct. Except for 2D not being a "dash", it's rather a hyphen ("hyphen minus" to be exact), but these two have pretty much the same appearance and they get interchanged a lot, I'm sure
    they are used to it by now. (Yes, the characters! They don't mind.)
    Then there's this registry key.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Server For NFS\CurrentVersion\Mapping
    Well, of course, I don't have Server for NFS. So this is a dead end. Well, actually, it was a dead end from the beginning...
    1. First of all, I'm not working with a network share on a NAS or SAN storage. The files are on the local disk drive where Windows is installed, so that's a DAS for you.
    2. I don't have SFU! Well obviously, I'm on Windows Vista! So that means SUA!
    3. SUA are service components only. No server components. Can you guess what that means? Yeah... no "Server for NFS" since it's a server component.
    4. Windows Vista is a client side operating system! Server for NFS is only offered for use with Windows Server systems.
    5. Back to square one!
    So there you have it. They all lived happy for the rest of their lives...
    I'm stuck here. Can someone tell me what to do? I mean beyond the obvious option to use Linux to fixa a Windows problem? The NTFS file system itself supports colons in file names. It's Windows that doesn't, and so by default it proclaims it invalid character.
    Surely, even a Windows client operating system like Windows Vista should be able to allow the user to at least rename files with invalid characters to something more sensible (from the system point of view) and valid, if not being able to open them as they
    are. Just add some crazy voodoo code to it and it will work. If you can make it possible on Windows Server with UNIX user-mode subsystem on NT kernel, then what's stopping you from giving the Windows client system the same benefit?
    So what now? Purchase a Windows Server 2012 R2 license, copy my invalid files to a NAS share with NFS on a UNIX or Linux system, and have a go at the Windows registry and Server for NFS? Yeah... you're right, it's probably a bit over the top...
    On a second thought... I might as well install Linux again. There are countless situations where Linux has helped me solve problems related to, and more often than not caused by Windows.

  • Invalid Characters shown in UTF-8 character set

    There is an XMLP report whose template output character set is ISO-8859-1. The character set ISO-8859-1 is required for this report as per Spanish Authorities. When the report is run, output gets generated in the output directory file of application server. This output file doesn't contain any invalid characters.
    But when the output is opened from SRS window, which opens it in a browser, the invalid characters are shown for characters like Ñ , É etc.
    Investigation done:
    Found that the output generated on the server is having ISO encoding and hence doesn't contain any invalid characters. Whereas the output generated from SRS window, it is in UTF encoding, so it seems the invalid characters are displayed when conversion takes place from ISO to UTF-8 format.
    Created the eText output using the data xml and template using BI publisher tool, the output is in ISO encoding. So if i go and change the encoding to UTF-8 by opening it in explorer or Notepad++, invalid charcters are shown for Ñ, É etc.
    Is there any limitation, that output from SRS window will show only in UTF-8 encoding? If not then please suggest.
    Thanks,

  • Struts and JSF Integration in OPDk-java based portlet

    Hi,
    thanks in advance for your help.
    I'm developing a PDK java based portlet. For some reasons I cannot use the JSF bridge but I would like to integrate Struts and Jsf in my portlet, using Struts to manage actions and navigation and JSF (with ADF Faces components) for the view. I'm using the Strus-Faces library.
    When I try to submit my portlet form, I receive the error "request URL not found on this server". I'm posting some exstracts of my code.
    It's made of three pages: the main one "Integration1ShowPage", "error" and "result". The MainAction.java displays my mainPage, where there's a form. To keep it easy, when the user submits this form, the ActionName returns "success" and the "result" page should be displayed.
    The MainAction works properly: the portlet is displayed but when I tried to submit the form I receive
    The requested URL /provaDeploy/htdocs/integration1/integration1ShowPage.do was not found on this server.Could you please suggest me something?

    SAP GUI is configured to search for updates after 5 double-clicks on desktop icon. I forced the 5 double-clicks on a test machine and the patch begins to install; then informs me that there is a pending reboot.
    When I reboot the machine a SAP Netweaver Front-end installer window appears with the error: "/Package contains invalid characters like /*?"<>\" - "Your system has a pending reboot". If I reboot again the message is displayed again.
    If I click on the "Cancel" button of this window, Windows XP continues booting and SAP GUI works fine.
    Two questions:
    How can I avoid the installation of this patch on all the machines?
    What can be wrong?
    Thank you very much.

    1.) To avoid the installation on all clients simply go to "Services -> Configure Automatic Workstation Update Service" in the SAP Installation Server Administration Tool and disbale the service. If this doesnt work you can delete the package on the installation server an create a new one with the same name. You can than patch the package to the patchlevel you want.
    2.) Try to apply patch 6 Hotfix 2 and see if the problem remains.

  • Java-based Client for Forte/IIOP

    My project is evaluating tools to build the next version of order
    entry/production management system. The first version is written entirely
    in Forte.
    We are considering 3 options for the client:
    1.Visual J++/ORBIX COMet (WFC widgets)
    2. Visual Cafe / ORBIX for Java (Swing Widgets)
    3. GOFC (Good old Forte Client)
    The back-end will probably remain Forte/Oracle on Solaris.
    If anyone has experience with these tools I would like to hear from you.
    I've tried J++/WFC last week and it seems to be solid. I am curious if
    Swing is ready for prime time.
    Regards,
    David

    Sean,
    My worry is that Swing, while eloquently designed, represents an attempt to
    write a totally new display system which, at least in the case of my
    project, will run on top of Windows. I really like the Java (or a Java-like
    i.e. J++) language, but I feel safer using the native MS widgets. It does
    not seem that anyone on this forum has used Swing extensively and can
    testify to its stability and performance.
    Regards,
    David

  • Error message if invalid characters entered in PM order oper.short text fld

    Hi ALL,
    I need to display a error message, when user enters the invalid characters in work order operation short text field. The error message should be displayed during work order u201CSaveu201D (during creation and change mode).
    Kindly let me know is there is any user exit / BADI can be used for this.
    Note: I have checked some user exit, such as IWO10009 but I am not getting the value of Operation short text (AFVGD-LTXA1) to compare and throw the error message
    Regards
    Ramu

    follow this to get text

  • Discoverer Report showing invalid characters in the report data

    Hi,
    Can you please help me. I have designed a discoverer report in discoverer desktop 4i, when it is running the data showing some invalid characters in the data like below.
    kara¿ah     L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
    I have executed the same query in sql plus at that time the data shows correctly. Please let me know, is there any settings required.
    Best Regards,
    Umamaheshwar.

    Hi Umamaheshwar
    This could be a registry setting. Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
    language_territory.characterset
    Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
    So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
    AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
    Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
    a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
    b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
    c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_ORANT
    d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
    e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
    f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
    f) Change the variable to the right setting
    g) Click the OK button to save your change
    h) Exit the registry
    Best wishes

  • PHP MYSQL and DW Question: Invalid characters and new lines entry/viewing

    Hello all,
    I have followed David Powers' two php/dw/mysql books and I've
    set up PHP
    pages that insert, edit, delete, etc. listings. Everything
    works fine
    except for invalid characters being inserted into the
    database, and then
    displaying with a question mark in firefox.
    Is there a trick to cleaning up the data that a user may
    paste into a
    textbox on a web page for insertion in the database before
    the data is
    inserted or as it is inserted? Em dashes, en dashes, 'curly
    quotes' etc.
    are giving me problems.
    Also, when I enter new lines into the php page while I'm
    typing out
    information for a record, these new lines are not being
    displayed either
    in the database (using phpmyadmin to view) or on the
    resulting details
    pages, even though I'm using nl2br, etc. Is there a way to
    make this
    work reliably?
    Thank you for any help you may give me!
