UTF8 encoding and applyXSL

Hi,
I have following problem: sometime ago I used applyXSL to make XSLT transformation and get result in UTF-8. Then I send it to server using UTF8.
But after new release of Acrobat 9 and fix in Acrobat 8 (8.1.3) ApplyXSL function returns result in current system encoding.
So my question is: how to convert encoding in JavaScript or how to get current host encoding?
Thanks for help

I solve it. If someone need solution please visit:

Node doesn't belong to the current document and Invalid UTF8 encoding errors

Hi
I'm creating a XSQL page that calls a PL/SQL procedure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection="sgvrt">
<xsql:include-owa>xml_indicadores_epm;</xsql:include-owa>
</page>
When I run the page I get:
Node doesn't belong to the current document.
if I use "<include-xml>" I get the following error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<page>
<xsql-error action="xsql:include-xml">
<message>Invalid UTF8 encoding.</message>
</xsql-error>
</page>
The XML page generated is well formed and it sends "test/xml; charset="ISO-8859-1" myme type. I test it in IE and it runs fine. I wrote a simple procedure that generates a simple one tag XML file and I still get the same errors.

Thanks for the reply
We've tried using the encoding attribute (encoding="ISO-8859-1") but it generates the same errors. We're using XSQL that comes with 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2a. We also tried with XSQL that comes with Oracle 9.2.0. It seems that the parser is not detecting if the XML document has a different encoding than UTF8.

AQ Adapter: Invalid UTF8 encoding.

Hello,
I am using the data type XMLType to enqueue data from a database to a BPEL process to integrate with other systems. We are using the AQ Adapter to receive messages from BPEL. For the most part it works, but when we are receiving multiple messages we receive less than expected. We break the result set from the query into 200 record blocks, and place those on the queue. Everything works great going to the queue. However, when the message is dequeued from BPEL, some messages fail with the error: Invalid UTF8 encoding.
Environment:
Oracle 10g Enterprise 10.2.0.4.0 - system nls_character_set is AL32UTF8
Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.4
Data: US English, no double byte languages - using VARCHAR2(BYTE) or VARCHAR2(CHAR) produces same results
Below are the steps and code snipets we are executing:
1) Create XML base document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <int:INTEGRATION xmlns:sfdc="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/INT_AQADMIN">
 <DATA_SOURCE>' || data_source || '</DATA_SOURCE>
 <OBJECT_NAME>' || object_name || '</OBJECT_NAME>
 <MAP_ID>' || map_id || '</MAP_ID>
</int:INT_INTEGRATION>2) A query is run using DBMS_XMLGEN, i.e. select * from <table>, returned as XML (max of 200 records at a time),
3) Convert CLOB to XMLType
4) Append XML to base xml doc
5) Enqueue message
Code excerpt:
 xml_base := xmltype(build_xml_base(data_source, object_name, map_id)); -- builds message listed above
 qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext (sql_query);
 DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(qryCtx, XML_ROWSET_TAG); -- <DATA>
 DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(qryCtx, XML_ROW_TAG); -- <DATAITEM>
 DBMS_XMLGEN.setMaxRows(qryCtx, XML_MAX_RESULTSET_ROWS); -- 200
 DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars(qryCtx, true);
 LOOP
 -- save the XML into the CLOB result.
 xmlgen_result := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXMLtype(qryCtx);
 -- if no rows exist, exit prior to enqueuing data
 EXIT WHEN DBMS_XMLGEN.getNumRowsProcessed(qryCtx) = 0;
 select appendchildxml(xml_base,
 '/int:INTEGRATION',
 xmlgen_result,
 'xmlns:int="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/INT_AQADMIN"')
 into xml_data from dual;
 SFDC_AQADMIN.SFDC_INTEGRATION_QUEUE.ENQUEUE_SFDC_OBJECT (xml_data, correlation);
 END LOOP;When the procedure is run, the objects get placed on the queue fine. BPEL starts to dequeue the message from the queue. However, we do not get all of the messages.
Looking at the BPEL logs describes the problem:
<2009-10-27 10:49:16,264> <ERROR> <iCareTest.collaxa.cube.activation> <AQ Adapter::Inbound> MessageReader_ReadMessage: Problem while constructing XML document from Oracle Object payload: java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding.

The line below indicates the byte is not UTF-8
Invalid UTF8 encoding. at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLUTF8Reader.checkUTF8Byte(XMLUTF8Reader.java:160)
Has anyone seen this? It appears to be something with the AQ Adapter. I cannot see anything strange looking at the XML that is generated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi Mark,
Please mail me your sample data with this character in that file. We can take this as a usecase for our testing team.

Invalid UTF8 Encoding

Dear Hussein,
I am facing error like for custom reports.
Caused by: java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding.
So i hit this thread Invalid UTF8 encoding
Could u pls tell me how to change the encoding. Is it from the browser or from reports builder.
Dear Hussein, Just to save some time i already referenced the document

Did you review the document and see if it is applicable? Do you have the patches applied?
Yes hussein. I am already on 11.5.10.2 with 10gR2. And regarding the autoconfig patch i am onpatch 4175764 which also has fixed this bug.
I have checked for all the file versions again the metalink doc id 364590.1 and all files on my instance are at higher version. Except in fnd src/process fdprep.lc 115.31 as i am not able to find its location.
Thanks a million

Imported XML errors "java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding"

Hi,
I had to display a mutli select table region in a Oracle Standard Supplier Site Manage page in R12. So I had a created a custom Stack Layout region and imported in to the database. The import went through fine. Then using Personalization i had created an item with the item style as Stack Layout and in the extends property i mentioned the region path details (xxs/oracle/apps/pos/supplier/webui/XXSByrMngSiteRN) and saved the changes. When i go back to the standard page i am getting the below error stack.
I tested this in our development instance and it worked fine. when i moved it to the system test environment this issue came up. There is no difference in the patch levels between the development and system test environments. Please let me know if you have any idea about resolving the error.

I have also tried the steps mentioned in the below link, I tried the encoding as both UTF8 and UTF-8 but the issue still persists.
java.io.UTFDataFormatException using WS-I Analyzer
Regards, Suresh

Suresh,
You obviously already know about the OA Framework forum (since you posted the same question over there). That seems like the correct place for this post.
Also, since you have OA Framework, you have access to Metalink, and since you didn't get any fast answers on the OA Framework Forum, Metalink seems like a really attractive option, no?
Best,
john

Java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding.

Hi Java Gurus,
I am parsing XML document string, source are sockets. I am suddenly getting error msg
'java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding.'
I have both message msg working correctly and incorrectly .... I can not see a single difference in the document except the contents ...

anyone have any suggestion ....

Well utf-8 is the encoding so it isn't suprising that it's the content.
Probably has something to do with:
KUP�INA
In the second message. Note the character that won't display.

Force jvm to use UTF8 encoding for properties?

hi,
my problem is i cannot display turkish characters that are retrieved from properties file [(key, value) pair].The value may contain turkish characters.
reference : java toc
"..When saving properties to a stream or loading them from a stream, the ISO 8859-1 character encoding is used. For characters that cannot be directly represented in this encoding, Unicode escapes are used; however, only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape sequence..."
instead of iso 8859-1 or directly representing non-conforming characters in the form of UTF8 encoding , i want to use UTF8 . i dont know is there a way to enforce the encoding to UTF8 .is it possible ?
note : javac -encoding or java -Djava.encoding has no use..
thanx in advance

Hi,
I did a lot of testing with the method of my last posting and ran into the following problem: each character, that is not available in iso 8859-1 is discarded and replaced by a '?'. So when e.g. loading arabic characters you get just "?????" as your property's value.
The only possibility to enable other encodings of Property Files is to replace the encoding of the reader to one that is better suited. So I created a customized class, that inherits from java.util.Properties, and supports loading and storing to any encoding. This class I give here:
* Properties.java
* Created on 11. Juni 2003, 14:08
package xy;
* The <code>Properties</code> class represents a persistent set of
* properties. The <code>Properties</code> can be saved to a stream
* or loaded from a stream. Each key and its corresponding value in
* the property list is a string.
* 
* A property list can contain another property list as its
* "defaults"; this second property list is searched if
* the property key is not found in the original property list.
* 
* Because <code>Properties</code> inherits from <code>Hashtable</code>, the
* <code>put</code> and <code>putAll</code> methods can be applied to a
* <code>Properties</code> object. Their use is strongly discouraged as they
* allow the caller to insert entries whose keys or values are not
* <code>Strings</code>. The <code>setProperty</code> method should be used
* instead. If the <code>store</code> or <code>save</code> method is called
* on a "compromised" <code>Properties</code> object that contains a
* non-<code>String</code> key or value, the call will fail.
* 
* <a name="encoding"></a>
* When saving properties to a stream or loading them from a stream, the
* ISO 8859-1 character encoding can be used. For characters that cannot be directly
* represented in this encoding,
* <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/html/3.doc.html#100850">Unicode escapes</a>
* are used; however, only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape sequence.
* The native2ascii tool can be used to convert property files to and from
* other character encodings.
* 
* 
* This Properties class is an extension of the default properties class an supports the
* loading and saving from and into other encodings than ISO 8859-1.
* 
* @see <a href="../../../tooldocs/solaris/native2ascii.html">native2ascii tool for Solaris</a>

 /** Creates a new instance of Properties */
 public Properties() {
 * Reads a property list (key and element pairs) from the input stream.
 * The stream is assumed to be in the specified character encoding.
 * 
 * Every property occupies one line of the input stream. Each line
 * is terminated by a line terminator (<code>\n</code> or <code>\r</code>
 * or <code>\r\n</code>). Lines from the input stream are processed until
 * end of file is reached on the input stream.
 * 
 * A line that contains only whitespace or whose first non-whitespace
 * character is an ASCII <code>#</code> or <code>!</code> is ignored
 * (thus, <code>#</code> or <code>!</code> indicate comment lines).
 * 
 * Every line other than a blank line or a comment line describes one
 * property to be added to the table (except that if a line ends with \,
 * then the following line, if it exists, is treated as a continuation
 * line, as described
 * below). The key consists of all the characters in the line starting
 * with the first non-whitespace character and up to, but not including,
 * the first ASCII <code>=</code>, <code>:</code>, or whitespace
 * character. All of the key termination characters may be included in
 * the key by preceding them with a \.
 * Any whitespace after the key is skipped; if the first non-whitespace
 * character after the key is <code>=</code> or <code>:</code>, then it
 * is ignored and any whitespace characters after it are also skipped.
 * All remaining characters on the line become part of the associated
 * element string. Within the element string, the ASCII
 * escape sequences <code>\t</code>, <code>\n</code>,
 * <code>\r</code>, <code>\\</code>, <code>\"</code>, <code>\'</code>,
 * <code>\ </code> (a backslash and a space)
 * are recognized and converted to single
 * characters. Moreover, if the last character on the line is
 * <code>\</code>, then the next line is treated as a continuation of the
 * current line; the <code>\</code> and line terminator are simply
 * discarded, and any leading whitespace characters on the continuation
 * line are also discarded and are not part of the element string. 
 * Note:
 * <code>\u</code>xxxx is not supported if the encoding is not
 * ISO 8859-1!
 * 
 * As an example, each of the following four lines specifies the key
 * <code>"Truth"</code> and the associated element value
 * <code>"Beauty"</code>:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * Truth = Beauty
 * Truth:Beauty
 * Truth :Beauty
 * </pre>
 * As another example, the following three lines specify a single
 * property:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * fruits apple, banana, pear, \
 * cantaloupe, watermelon, \
 * kiwi, mango
 * </pre>
 * The key is <code>"fruits"</code> and the associated element is:
 * 
 * <pre>"apple, banana, pear, cantaloupe, watermelon, kiwi, mango"</pre>
 * Note that a space appears before each <code>\</code> so that a space
 * will appear after each comma in the final result; the <code>\</code>,
 * line terminator, and leading whitespace on the continuation line are
 * merely discarded and are not replaced by one or more other
 * characters.
 * 
 * As a third example, the line:
 * 
 * <pre>cheeses
 * </pre>
 * specifies that the key is <code>"cheeses"</code> and the associated
 * element is the empty string.
 * @param inStream the input stream.
 * @exception IOException if an error occurred when reading from the
 * input stream.

 * but not embedded or trailing space characters, are written with a
 * preceding <code>\</code>. The key and value characters <code>#</code>,
 * <code>!</code>, <code>=</code>, and <code>:</code> are written with a

[SOLVED] xfce4 automounting problem on usb dev with utf8 encoded files

I have problem of auto mounting usb external drive contains utf8 encoded files under xfce4.
Using hal and dbus for usb device detection.
Heard that I need to add iocharset=utf8 under fstab or hal fdi configure files and tried them all but didn't work
usb devices with vfat always got mounted with default charset.
I found out that exo-mount is the one doing the actual mounting and that it is the one that cannot take all extra mounting options such as iocharset etc.
Have tried gnome to mount this hard drive and works find with nautilus option that let me set various mount options for each harddrive.
Is there any way to replace exo-mount with some other alternative mounting tools that work with thunar?
Any workaround will be helpful as long as I can mount my usb drives with prefer charset so that I don't have to guess all ???marked files.
Heard that xubuntu replaced that exo-mount with gnome-mount to handle drives with extra mount options such as iocharset.
but I am pretty new to configuring things and couldn't find the step by step instruction for this so please provide the complete solution.
Link to the pages that explain workaround would be nice as well.
Thanks in advance!

Found the patch for exo-mount so that it takes additional mount options HAL suggests.
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/attachmen … ction=diff
Now my usb drive can be mounted with the proper charset.
Hope this patch helps others with similar situation as well!

Wrong utf8 encoding for one "BAD" cyrillic letter И ?

Hi everybody!
I have JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0.
The web server is embeded OC4J server or standalone OC4J container. (10.3)
The database is running in CL8MSWIN1251 character set. (I tried 9.2.0.8 and 10.2 with the the some result).
I generated PL/SQL web-service,
based on the simple packаged procedure:
FUNCTION testConnection RETURN XMLType
IS
v XMLType;
v_session_user VARCHAR2(32);
v_db_name VARCHAR2(32);
v_language VARCHAR2(32);
BEGIN
v := XMLType('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<ROW>
<DevelopedBy>'||convert('АБВГДЕ','UTF8','CL8MSWIN1251')||'<DevelopedBy>
</ROW>
</root>
RETURN v;
END testConnection;
It works, and as a responce of the service I get correct XML:
- <ROW>
<DevelopedBy>АБВГД</DevelopedBy>
</ROW>
Problem occurs when procedure must return one special cyrillic letter И (И Capital) UTF-8; d0,98.
For "small" и (UTF-8 d0,b8) everithing is OK.
In case when output must be <DevelopedBy>И</DevelopedBy>
I got an error message:
- <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception:</faultcode>
<faultstring>java.sql.SQLException: Invalid UTF8 encoding.</faultstring> <faultactor>/WebXML/WebService1</faultactor>

So the cyrillic letter И in UTF8 encoding is a spcecial case???
Can somebody help me

The problem is gone. Kopete suddenly was working again after copying and pasting a text from a website and sending it to one of my contacts.

XDO Log shows - java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding

We have a XDO Region in our OA Page - that calls XML Publisher Report taking as input a XML File generated from a concurrent program. The concurrent program calls a PL/SQL Program to generate the XML File.
The XML File has the encoding fetched from
select tag from fnd_lookup_values
where lookup_type = 'FND_ISO_CHARACTER_SET_MAP'
and lookup_code = ( select value from v$nls_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET')
and language='US' ;
The tag = 'UTF-8' and hence the encoding in XML File is as -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
The XML File is getting created successfully.. But XML Publisher is not able to process the report properly and is displaying the error - An error encountered either due to invalid Template details or due to null Data Input Stream.

ISO-8859-1 / Invalid UTF8 encoding

Hello!
I have nearly the same problem like V Prakash (ISO8859 & UTF 8
default encoding)
I am parsing a XML-Document with ISO-8859-1 encoding. The file
has no XML-Declaration.
I use the "setEncoding(String)"-method of class
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument to set the right encoding.
The result is a
java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding
What's wrong with my code or is it a bug in Oracle XMLParser
v2.0.0.2 ?
Thanks
Peter

XMLReader throws "Invalid UTF8 encoding." - Need parser for ISO-8859-1 chrs

Hi,
We are facing an issue when we try to send data which is encoded in "ISO-8859-1" charset (german chars) via the EMDClient (agent), which tries to parse it using the oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser . The parser, while trying to read it, is unable to determine the charset encoding of our data and assumes that the encoding is "UTF-8", and when it tries to read it, throws the :
"java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid UTF8 encoding." exception.
I looked at the XMLReader's code and found that it tries to read the first 4 bytes (Byte Order Mark - BOM) to determine the encoding. It is probably expecting us to send the data where the first line is probably:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso88591" ?>
But, the data that our application sends is typically as below:
========================================================
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /ade/vivsharm_emsa2/oracle/work/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = semsa2)
(ORACLE_HOME = /ade/vivsharm_emsa2/oracle)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = stadm18.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 15100))
========================================================
the first 4 bytes in our case will be, int[] {35, 32, 108, 105} == chars {#, SPACE, l, i},
which does not match any of the encodings predefined in oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLReader.pushXMLReader() method.
How do we ensure that the parser identifies the encoding properly and instantiates the correct parser for "ISO-8859-1"...
Should we just add the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso88591" ?> at the beginning of our data?
We have tried constructing the inputstream (ByteArrayInputStream) by using String.getBytes("ISO-8859-1") and passing that to the parser, but that does not seem to work.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Vivek.

Your message is not XML. I believe that the XMLParser is going to have problems with that as well. Perhaps you could wrap the message in an XML tag set and begin the document as you suggested with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso88591"?>.
You are correct in that the parser uses only the first 4 bytes to detect the encoding of the document. It can only determine if the document in ASCII or EPCDIC based. If it is ASCII it can detect only between UTF-8 and UTF-16. It will need the encoding attribute to recognize the ISO-8859-1 encoding.
hope this helps

Assuring UTF8 encoding via extension

Folks:
DW CS3 on MacOS 10.6.x
I have a lot of legacy files encoded in ISO Latin-1 and I'd like to convert every one to UTF8. It's sufficient to convert files one-by-one as I work on them for other reasons, so I'm thinking of adding a modification to the _onOpen or _beforeSave mechanisms.   I don't speak JS, but I've managed to hack around and do something useful via the _afterSave hook, without apparent damage.
Opening a file, manually mousing to Modify --> Page Properties --> Title/Encoding reveals the current encoding and supports changing the encoding via a pull-down. "OK" and File --> Save, and it's done.   Tedious. It should be possible to do this automagically, or at least semi-automagically. (Alert("This file is not encoded as UTF-8. Do you want to correct this?")
The DW CS3 API Reference gives this call:
   dom.getCharSet()
so I know how to test the current encoding; if this call returns UTF8 (spelled somehow), there's nothing to do.
But I cannot figure out how to change the encoding.   Am I just missing something in API Reference? Or am I missing something fundamental about how DW groks html and deals with encoding?
I've looked around for example code snippets. The first step would probably be to call "dom.getCharSet()" but I haven't discovered anything by searching for this.
Can anyone direct me to a tutoria or reference section on changing the document encoding, or a relevant code snippet?
TIA,
hen3ry

David Powers:
Thank you for your response. You uncovered some failures in my original question:
First, I should have mentioned that most of the legacy files contain no meta tags in the header. In fact they cannot contain headers, as they are header-less html snippets that will be included by a CMS, which provides its own header material. As I understand the applicable standard, only one set of headers is allowed.
Second, I mistakenly omitted the fact that some of the files may not be encoded Latin-1.    This is one of the joys of inheriting old material and revisiting one's past naive errors.
Third, I should have said more clearly that I seek an "command extension-driven" equivalent to the manual operation of mousing to Modify --> Page Properties --> Title/Encoding, changing the encoding selection, and entering "OK".   ( I find the new encoding "sticks" --to the subsequent times the file is opened-- when changed by this manual method even though there is no visible indication of the encoding.) Perhaps "command extension-driven" isn't the right terminology, but it is the best I can do with the material in the introduction of the relevant documentation, the Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 API Reference and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3: Extending Dreamweaver.
Fourth, I should have asked where people who do this kind of work congregate these days. When I posted I had spent some time looking for an DW extensions forum, but some of the links to it were dead and I incorrectly concluded that the forum had disappeared. Just now I re-checked and found I totally overlooked this official forum
      http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_extensions
This is where I should have posted.   No need to continue here, thanks, I will re-post my corrected query there.
Thanks,
hen3ry

Utf8 script and sqlplus

Hello.
Try to use sql script in utf8 encoding to run from sqlplusw oracle 9201 win. Database encoding is BLT8MSWIN1257, client registry contatins the same BLT8MSWIN1257
SQL> @c:\temp\db\define.sql -- file define.sql has UTF8 encoding
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "ï»¿-- ÐŸÐµ..." - rest of line ignored.
Is it because of non-utf8 database encoding or sqlplusw does not read utf8 files at all?
Regards, Dmitry

Dont know whether sqlplusw supports utf-8, but if the input really is in this encoding I would set nls_lang=.UTF8 (no dash). This would, in theory, tell Sql*plus that your terminal or files uses utf-8.
Note that with a setup you describe, with client side and database using the same character set, called passed-through setup, you have to make sure that characters really conform to win-1257. Any invalid characters will be incorrectly stored in the database. Storing multi-byte characters in this case, would be one example where things could go wrong.
