Character Encoding for JSPs and HTML forms
After having read loads of postings on character encoding problems I'm still puzzled about the following problem:
I have an instance (A) of WL 8.1 SP3 on a WinXP machine and another instance (B) of WL 8.1 without any SP on a Win2K machine. The underlying Windows locale is english(US) in both cases.
The same application deployed as a war file to these instances does not behave in the same way when it comes to displaying non-Latin1-characters like the Euro symbol: Whereas (A) shows and accepts these characters as request-parameters, (B) does not.
Since the war file is the same (weblogic.xml, jsps and everything), the reason for this must either be the service-pack-level or some other configuration setting I overlooked.
Any hints are appreciated!
Try this:
Prefrences -> Content -> Fonts & Color -> Advanced
At the bottom, choose your Encoding.

Hi, I have been trying to work out a way to label rows of a dynamic html form, which can then be referenced by jsp. The project is a uni one in which we are building an online book store. At the moment, we have made a search for out database, the resultant table's size is obviously done on how many results there are. ONce the results are up, for every book, there is a text box, the name of which is the ISBN of that particular book (unique code every book has, thus the primary key). This text box is going to be used so that the 'customers' can enter in a number, which will be how many copies of this book they want.
This jsp files needs to be referenced by another, so we can send a cookie to the user's computer with book details. unfortunately, in order to know which book, and how many, the user wants, we need to know the name of the check box from the first jsp file, which we cannot hardcode because due to the dynamic nature of the form will be different every time!
Are we going about things the wrong way, because I cant seem to work out a way to do this.
Thanks,
AlexRegardless of how many results are returned, the name of your checkbox will always be the same... that's just the nature of a list of checkboxes. What changes is the values of each individual checkbox, which can be retrieved using
String[] booksChecked = request.getParameterValues("books")where "books" is the name of your checkbox.
If each book has a unique ID, then probably use this value as the value of the checkbox, and then you receive an array of IDs.
To dynamically handle the quantity boxes, name each textbox with the unique key plus an extra bit of text..
<input type="text" name="<%= book.ID%>qty">
Then you can retrieve the quantity for each book by using..
for(int i=0; i < booksChecked.length; i++)
String qty = request.getParameter(booksChecked[i]+"qty");
}Hope this is what you're looking for :) -

How to set default encoding and charsets for jsp and servlets.
Hi,
Is there any possibility to set default encoding or charset for jsps and servlest (for both request and response)?
For example in Weblogic such parameters can be set in weblogic specific configuration files (weblogic.xml).
Thanks in advance.Hi,
I created one request with logo in the header an page in the footer etc. and called StyleSheet. After you can import this formats by each request.
You can do this in compound layout.

hi all.
my problem is about character encoding in JSP.
my project is based on struts framework & mysql database. as a servlet container i have the Tomcat absolutely.
i have correctly set the mysql db. when i insert data by hand, usin' INSERT INTO bla bla, it works with Turkish Characters.
After that, i have checked, my jsp page correctly loads data from db and displays on browser. all the special Turkish characters appears well.
The problem starts with posting!
I want some data from the user, and i have simple wysiwyg javascript editor. the editor correctly process the text, after posting data and saving into db, some how it corrupts.
(whatever, i have tried it with a simple textarea, it does not work)
simply my problem is: the data somehow corrupts while it is being posted.
thanx.on the form processing page, you probably need to call request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") (or whatever encoding you're using) before reading any values.

Can we call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?
Is it possible to call a workflow form a JSP and/or form a Java Class?
Below is some xpress code I wrote once, used to dynamically lauch workflows from within a workflow. Since it basically uses java classes, you reuse these in your java program or jsp:
- create a new generic object
- call the setId, put, ... methods on it
- set the input variables for the workflow by putting them into the generic object
- call the checkinView method on a LighthouseContext object which launches your workflow.
If all you need is starting a workflow from a jsp, you might also want to take a look at the tasks/taskLaunch.jsp jsp. This is an out of the box jsp which allows launching of tasks. If I remember correctly you have to give an url parameter which specificies the name of task you want to start: tasks/taskLaunch.jsp?id=<workflow-name>

As a webservice client, how to set character encoding for JAX-WS?
I couldn't find the right API to set character encoding for a webservice client. What I did is
1, wsimport which gives me MyService, MyPortType...
2. Create new MyService
3. Get MyPort from MyService
4. Call myPort.myOperation with objects
Where is the right place to set character encoding and how to set it? Thanks.
Regards
-Jiaqi GuoThe .js file and the html need to have the same encoding. If
your html uses iso-8859-7, then the .js must also use that. But if
the original text editor created the .js file using utf-8, then
that is what the html needs to use. -
Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ?
Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?
If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

How to use same jsp for edit and add form
Hi,
I would like to use the same .jsp file for edit and add. I just want to change a few controls based on edit/add mode. How do I configure this in the jsp?In the environment I currently have access to do not have similar setup.
Let say you setup the DFF1 default value to $HEADER.customer_name, the name of the DFF is CUSTOMER_NAME, description can be anything.
In DFF2, default value should be a SQL, where you can reference the DFF1. For example, SELECT DECODE($FLEX.CUSTOMER_NAME, 'ABC', 1, 'DEF', 2, NULL) FROM dual
In this case, you can reference the DFF1. -
Character encoding for ReponseWriter
hi;
how can i control the character encoding of the ResponseWriter?
what encoding does it use for default?
thanks.Since I had junior developers becoming desperate by this problem I'll post our solution for for anybody that's not working on Websphere and wants to solve this problem.
we seem to have solved it using a servletfilter that inserts this response wrapper:
class CharacterEncodingHttpResponseWrapper extends HttpServletResponseWrapper{
private String contentTypeWithCharacterEncoding;
private String encoding;
CharacterEncodingHttpResponseWrapper(HttpServletResponse resp,String encoding){
super(resp);
this.encoding=encoding;
public void setContentType(String contentType){
//��n plek om encoding te defini�ren ipv in alle JSP pagina's
contentTypeWithCharacterEncoding = addOrReplaceCharset(contentType,encoding);
super.setContentType(contentTypeWithCharacterEncoding);
public void setLocale(Locale locale){
//bij het zetten van de locale wordt ook de charset op ISO gezet
if(contentTypeWithCharacterEncoding==null){
CharacterEncodingFilter.LOGGER.warn("Encoding wordt op ISO gezet via locale.");
}else{
super.setLocale(locale);
//en zet de encoding terug naar de gewenste encoding
setContentType(contentTypeWithCharacterEncoding);
* utility methode die in de http header
* <code>Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=ISO-8859-1</code>
* of in content type op servlethttpresponse
* <code>text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1</code>
* de charset zet.
private String addOrReplaceCharset(String headervalue, String charset) {
if (null !=headervalue ) {
// see if this header had a charset
String charsetStr = "charset=";
int len = charsetStr.length(), i = 0;
// if we have a charset in this Content-Type header
if (-1 != (i = headervalue.indexOf(charsetStr))) {
// if it has a non-zero length.
if ((i + len < headervalue.length())) {
// none
headervalue = headervalue.substring(0, i + len) + charset;
} else {
headervalue = headervalue + charset;
} else {
headervalue = headervalue + ";charset="+charset;
return headervalue;
} else {
LOGGER.warn("content-type header niet gezet");
return "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset="+charset;
}If all your JSF/JSP pages have consistently set the encoding in the contenttype your addOrReplace method should only add, not replace. -
Over-riding Character encoding in JSP
I have JSP which was precompiled under weblogic with no encoding.I want to change the encoding during run time using response or request Object.I am using filters before JSP's so the response encoding is not getting to JSP even though i try to set in the response by
response.setContentType("text/html;SJIS") it is getting lost.So i tried to set in the request as an attribute and retreived in the JSP page directive.It did not work.
The browser is not detecting my character encoding why?.Is there anything called static encoding from weblogic that is causing problem?.If it is, how would I turn off the static encoding from the weblogic programmatically in JSP so that browser detects correct encoding in the page directive dynamically.I even tried
request.setCharacterEncoding("SJIS") which is japenese but it did not work.Any help would be appreciated.The encoding it shows in the browser by default is "UTF-8" even i though i send "SJIS" encoding in the requeston the form processing page, you probably need to call request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") (or whatever encoding you're using) before reading any values.

Seeing � etc despite having View--Character encoding as unicode and auto-detect universal
On viewing some web pages see characters such as �, , (for example). But View-Character Encoding is set at Unicode (UTF-8) or Western (ISO8859-1) and Tools-Options-Content-Fonts-Advanced Encoding set with either of those
example of page:
http://scienceofdoom.com/2010/09/17/on-missing-the-point-by-chilingar-et-al-2008/
- a little over half way down, the section headed "Anthropogenic Imact on the Earth’s Climate – Tiny" from paragraph "And continue: " there are these non-characters in the equation (12) and subsequently.
Another page : http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/sep26_2010.html in the topic " Red warning lights" .
Most web-pages I read are without problem.
I contacted the writer of the first page and s/he had no idea why it happens. -
Character encoding: Ansi, ascii, and mac, oh my!
I'm writing a program which has to search & replace data in user-supplied Rich Text documents (.rtf). Ideally, I would like to read the whole thing into a StringBuffer, so that I can use all of the functionality built into String and StringBuffer, and so that I can easily compare with constant Strings and chars.
The trouble that I have is with character encoding. According to the rtf spec, RTFs can be encoded in four different character encodings: "ansi", "mac", IBM PC code page 437, and IBM PC code page 850, none of which are supported by Java (see http://impulzus.sch.bme.hu/tom/szamitastechnika/file/rtfspec/rtfspec_6.htm#rtfspec_8 for the RTF spec and http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html#charenc for the character encodings supported by Java).
I believe, from a bit of googling, that they are all 8 bits/character, so I could read everything into a byte array and manipulate that directly. However, that would be rather nasty. I would have to be careful with the changes that I make to the document, so that I do not insert values that do not encode correctly in the document's character encoding. Overall, a large hassle.
So my question is - has anyone done something like this before? Any libraries that will make my job easier? Or am I missing something built into Java that will allow me to easily decode and reencode these documents?DrClap, thanks for the response.
If I could map from the encodings listed above (which are given in the rtf doucment) to a java encoding name from the page that you listed, that would solve all my problems. However, there are a couple of problems:
a) According to this page - http://orwell.ru/info/diffs.htm - ANSI is a superset of ISO-8859-1. That page isn't exactly authoritative, but I can't afford to lose data.
b) I'm not sure what to do about the other character encodings. "mac" may correspond to "MacRoman" but that page lists a dozen or so other macintosh encodings. Gotta love crystal-clear MS documentation. -
Character Encoding for IDOC to JMS scenario with foreign characters
Dear Experts,
The scenario is desribed as follows:
Issue Description:
There is an IDOC which is created after extracting data from different countries (but only one country at a time). So, for instance first time the data is picked in Greek and Latin and corresponding IDOC is created and sent to PI, the next time plain English and sent to PI and next Chinese and so on. As of now every time this IDOC reaches PI ,it comes with UTF-8 character encoding as seen in the IDOC XML.
I am converting this IDOC XML into single string flat file (currently taking the default encoding UTF-8) and sending it to receiver JMS Queue (MQ Series). Now when this data is picked up from the end recepient from the corresponding queue in MQ Series, they see ? wherever there is a Greek/latin characters (may be because that should be having a different encoding like ISO-8859_7). This is causing issues at their end.
My Understanding
SAP system should trigger the IDOC with the right code page i.e if the IDOC is sent with Greek/Latin code page should be ISO-8859_7, if this same IDOC is sent with Chinese characters the corresponding code page else UTF-8 or default code page.
Once this is sent correctly from SAP, Java Mapping should have to use the correct code page when righting the bytes to outputstream and then we would also need to set the right code page as JMS Header before putting the message in the JMS queue so that receiver can interpret it.
Queries:
1. Is my approach for the scenario correct, if not please guide me to the right approach.
2. Does SAP support different code page being picked for the same IDOC based on different data set. If so how is it achieved.
3. What is the JMS Header property to set the right code page. I think there should be some JMS Header defined by MQ Series for Character Encoding which I should be setting correctly) I find that there is a property to set the CCSID in JMS Receiver Adapter but that only refers to Non-ASCII names and doesn't refer to the payload content.
I would appreciate if anybody can give me pointers on how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Setting character encoding for the whole app
I have a MySQL base which uses latin1 character set. I don't know which Java uses, but when I print some polish signs it puts ? instead. How do I change the character set for the whole application? Or maybe there is some completely different way?
1. the base I have is capable of storing polish chars - at least when I view it within my visual manager it shows then no problem, so I think it's not that
2. I don't use the console - I use the JTable component to show the data
3. java stores using utf, but the app uses default system encoding - I checked it with:
Charset c = Charset.defaultCharset();
System.out.println(c.displayName());So which solution do you suggest?
And how can I change the encoding the application?
Thank's for your interest!
