Charset Decoding Problem

Please let me know why this program doesn't work!
ByteBuffer buffer = null;
CharBuffer charBuffer = CharBuffer.allocate(100);
buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(new String("Server 10").getBytes());
buffer.flip();
Charset cs = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
CharsetDecoder cd = cs.newDecoder();
cd.decode(buffer,charBuffer,false);
System.out.println("Char Buffer " + charBuffer.toString());
buffer.clear();
This does not display any output at all.
Please let me know ... if you have any clue .. on this!
Thanks in Advance.

Hi..thanks for the response.
Yes..I did try that. It still gives the same output. I even tried a charBuffer.flip() too. No help !
ByteBuffer buffer = null;
CharBuffer charBuffer = CharBuffer.wrap(new String(""));
PropertyConfigurator.configure("log.properties");
buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(new String("Server 10").getBytes());
Charset cs = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
CharsetDecoder cd = cs.newDecoder();
cd.decode(buffer,charBuffer,true);
logger.debug("Decoding done");
logger.info("Char Buffer " + charBuffer.toString());
logger.info("Length = " + charBuffer.toString().length());
buffer.clear();
The output is ...
2003 Jul 01 17:30:46 [main] DEBUG TestCharset - Decoding done
2003 Jul 01 17:30:46 [main] INFO TestCharset - Char Buffer
2003 Jul 01 17:30:46 [main] INFO TestCharset - Length = 0
Any further clues will be really helpful.
thanks in advance

Charset decoding problem. UTF-8

Hi,
I'm using Jakarta Commons HttpClient and am having trouble reading the response to a GetMethod.
// execute method
byte[] bytes = method.getResponseBody();
String response = new String(bytes, "UTF-8");
// method.getResponseCharSet() returns "utf-8"
System.out.println(response);Unfortunately this just displays garbage.
I added code to iterate through and print out the value of each byte. Some come up negative which surprises me. If I put the first 50 or so values here maybe someone can identify what the problem is:
031 -117 008 000 000 000 000 000 000 011 -115 086 075 111 -029 054 016 -066 -025 087

<html><head><meta HTTP-EQUIV="pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<script language="Javascript">...
Thanks

If the String object
<html><head><meta HTTP-EQUIV="pragma"CONTENT="no-cache"><script language="Javascript">is transformed to a byte array with UTF-8 encoding then its elements are as follows.
14 97 103 109 97 34 67 79 78 84 69 78 84 61 34 110 111 45 99 97 99 104 101 34 62 60 115 99 114 105 112 116 32 108 97 110 103 117 97 103 101 61 34 74 97 118 97 115 99 114 105 112 116 34 62Probably encoding does not coincide or your byte array is different from what intended.

Payload decoding problem

Hi
Im using 10.1.2.3 b2b with mlr#7. In edi 841 transaction im encoding a .jpeg(image) file in to base64 format and attaching it to the binary data section.The output raw edi data has the decoded jpeg file but it was corrupted.I donno how to get my original .jpeg(image) file.Same thing happens for .pdf format.Kindly help in resolving this issue.
Regards
venkat

Hi Venkat,
No there is no such rule and B2B will decode it in the same format.
If you have applied MLR#7 successfully then it should work.
Anyways, take the attachment content from the wiremessage and decod it using base 64 encoding manually and save it as a jpeg, and try to open. If then also you are not able to open then decode it twice and now save it as jpeg and try to open. I am asking this because prior to MLR#7 there was problem of attachments getting encoded twice.
You may consider forwarding wire message and b2b log in debug mode to my id (in my profile).

Anuj

Charset definition problem

Hi,
I've a strange problem with my website html pages. My pages have charset defined in the page's header as "windows-1255" but sometimes explorer browsers take utf8 encoding. Then People see a white page because the browser can't display the page correctly. I tryed to add to the server in international support the alias charset cp1255 but is not defined by the server. i think that sometime explorer browsers fail to read the correct charset from the html page then it take the default explorer charset utf8 because the server send none default charset in HTTP header request. How can correct this problem? how can i define cp1255 as default encoding in my server?
thanks

Decode problem

Hi,
I have a problem with a decode function.
I try to execute this select:
select (DECODE(:CU_IES, 'D', (DECODE(:P_FISC, 1, a.flag1, 0, a.flag2) in (2,3,4)), (DECODE(:P_FISC, 1, a.flag1, 0, a.flag2) in (2,3,4,6))))
from flag a
and a get this error ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
I try to this in Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3.
I want to do this: when :cu_ies is 'D' to bring me flags 2,3,4 and if not 'D' to bring me flags 2,3,4,6. (All flags are from 0 to 6)
What I have done wrong?
Anyone can help me?

Try using case instead of decode

How JAX-WS can affect JavaMail e-mail decoding ? How to fix it ?

Got the following from the JAX-WS team:
I think it is related to:
[https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=707|https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=707]
[https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=656|https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=656]
In short, JAX-WS was registering a DataContentHandler that doesn't honor charset for text/plain mime type. We fixed it by copying the same data content handler from JavaMail.

Charset Encoding Problem

Hello all,
I have the problem that umlaut like ä, ü,ö are didn´t shown in the Browser. In the JSP Page I included the charset=iso-8859-1. I used the Web Application Server 6.4 SP12. If I used this charset ín a normal HTML Site it works fine. Could anybody help me to solve the Problem?
Kind regard
Axel

Hi Axel,
try to use charset UTF-8, which also is the default workbench editor setting on NWDS. At least, the portal's JSP engine (which is different from the WAS') needs that to work properly.
Hope it helps

CharSet EE8BS2000 problem (BS2000/OSD)

Dear All!
We are now trying our new Oracle Server (version 8.0.4.2.10) on platform BS2000/OSD, but we have problem with accented Hungarian letters and character sets...
Our "Server for Siemens BS2000 User's Guide" (Z25550-01) says that character set EE8BS2000 is equal to Siemens EBCDIC.DF.04-2 (EDF042),
but experiments showed that in reality it is Siemens EBCDIC.EHC.L2 (EEHCL2)
(both server an client side affected).
We would use the first one (EDF042), which seems to be the new standard of BS2000.
(Notes:
1.When we select charset WE8BS2000 instead EE8BS2000 almost everything is OK, except for double-acuted Hungarian characters (o" and u") which are not shown/can not be entered from SQL*Plus on Win.
2.Hungarian texts in "ORALOAD.LIB" use character codes from EDF042. (Little hope for us))
An other question is that remote clients (eg SQL*Plus on Windows) does not support
EE8BS2000 character set (yet (?)), so we would set the server to perform the conversion between EBCDIC (EDF042) and ASCII (ISO-8859-2).
Can someone please give us some hint ?
Appendix:
Character EEHCL2 EDF042
a' x'71' x'45'
e' x'72' x'51'
i' x'73' x'55'
o' x'74' x'ce'
o: x'75' x'cc'
o" x'76' x'cf'
u' x'77' x'de'
u: x'78' x'dc'
u" x'79' x'db'
more information about Siemens character sets can be found in http://manuals.mchp.siemens.de/servers/bs2_man/man_us/dcam/v14_0/xhcs.pdf

I wrote earlier:
"Hungarian texts in "ORALOAD.LIB" use character codes from EDF042. (Little hope for us)"
Well... not exactly... eg:
module "MNNMSHU" uses codetable EEHCL2
module "MNNCXHU" uses codetable EDF042
so the situation is worst that we thought...

Sorting: ORDER BY DECODE Problem on Pagination Query

Hi,
I've been searching around the easiest way to perform a dynamic "ORDER BY" clause and the "DECODE()" clause solution seem to be exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately, It seems the DECODE function is not returning a correct column name value (I think it is returning NULL) since I'm receive the result set as if there was no ORDER BY clause.
I need some help to get through this!
Here the version with DECODE (not working)
It is a Procedure with frstRow, nbRows and var_order as parameters
The output returns the rows as if no ORDER BY was used
SELECT c1, c2
FROM
SELECT ROWNUM rn, arv.*
FROM A_AWA_AR arv
WHERE ROWNUM < (frstRow + nbRows - 1) -- show only some rows determined by procedure
ORDER BY DECODE(var_order, 1, c1, 2, c2, c1) -- sort by var_order
WHERE rn BETWEEN frstRow AND (frstRow + nbRows)
AND ROWNUM <= nbRows
Here the version without DECODE (working)
The output returns the rows as expected - ordered by c2 column
SELECT c1, c2
FROM
SELECT ROWNUM rn, arv.*
FROM A_AWA_AR arv
WHERE ROWNUM < (frstRow + nbRows - 1) -- show only some rows determined by procedure
ORDER BY c2 -- sort by var_order
WHERE rn BETWEEN frstRow AND (frstRow + nbRows)
AND ROWNUM <= nbRows
-----

Here are some results I've been getting... I will try the best I can to explain my problem.
And by the way the table A_AWA_AR is a VIEW maybe this can help.
My problem -- I think -- is that I don't understand how DECODE works. I should be a conditional IF-ELSE-THEN-like function but its behavior is not returning what I'm expecting.
I need a solution where I will be able to sort the first lets say 10 rows using ROWNUM to tag row position (in sub-query) then the main query should only show the rows from 3rd postion to 7th position in the main query (as an example) with RN BETWEEN 3 AND 7. My solution does not work when I use decode but works when i pass the column name directly.
Here is a simple query returning the values in the order they are found in the view:
SELECT ROWNUM rn, ROW_ID, SR_NUM
FROM A_AWA_AR
WHERE ROWNUM < 10 Results:
RN                                     ROW_ID          SR_NUM

Acrobat XI Decoder Problem

An error says that Acrobat XI does not have a decoder for audio content. The file is an MP3. I have the latest Flash player installed. Running Windows 8. How do I fix?

I would like to provide a sample, but I do not know how to do so from a proprietary disk that cost about $900. Pat Willener's link seem to go to purchasing some cloud services. I do not know of how I can provide you with a sample. The problem is aggravating and did not occur with Windows 7 or the Reader version that I had before my prior computer bricked. There has to be a way that you can work with me to fix this problem. I would be happy to upload files if there was a clean and simple way to do so. So far, I find this exercise to be a kluge and entirely unhelpful. I took a screen shot of the error message and saved it in CS6 as a .psd. You will not even let me upload that! This is unhelpful.

Decoding-problems on subject

Hello all,
as far as I observed javamail does an automatic decoding of an eMail-subject for me. So a
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?B?QW1hem9uLmRl?=
automaticly becomes
Subject: Amazon.de
Now I get a message with the subject:
Subject: openBC:=?UTF-8?Q?=20Ingo=20Gr=C3=BCneberg=20hat=20?= =?UTF-8?Q?Sie=20als=20Kontakt=20best?==?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A4tigt?=
which will not be decoded by javamail. I tried to work around the problem and forced my application to decode the subject one more time - no result:
System.out.println(MimeUtility.decodeText("openBC:=?UTF-8?Q?=20Ingo=20Gr=C3=BCneberg=20hat=20?= Sie als Kontakt best=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A4tigt?="));
-> openBC:=?UTF-8?Q?=20Ingo=20Gr=C3=BCneberg=20hat=20?= Sie als Kontakt best=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A4tigt?=
Then I thought the string would be the problem, but Thunderbird decodes the subject right!??
Any sugestions? Thanks a lot in advance!
Stephan

First of all,i want to show you my code:
package orlab.test;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class Program {
* @param args
* @throws Exception
* @throws
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.setProperty("mail.mime.decodetext.strict", "false");
File dir = new File("c:/Mail");
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length && i < 4; i++) {
File f = files;
if (!f.isFile()) {
continue;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
MimeMessage mm = new MimeMessage(null, fis);
String rowHeader = mm.getHeader("Subject")[0];
// System.out.println(MimeUtility.decodeText(mm.getSubject()));
if (!rowHeader.equals(mm.getSubject())) {
// continue;
System.out.println("File\t\t:" + f.getName());
System.out.println("Raw\t\t:" + rowHeader);
System.out.println("Subject\t\t:" + mm.getSubject());
fis.close();
System.out.println("_______________");
the raw mail data like this:
_*Message-ID: <[email protected]>*_
_*Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 19:06:47 +0900 (JST)*_
_*Subject: SOME=?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCTU0wRjdvJUElJyVDJS8lNyE8JUgbKEI=?=*_
this is the code which can decode "SOME=?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCTU0wRjdvJUElJyVDJS8lNyE8JUgbKEI=?=
"to"SOME様案件チェックシート
", when i using gnu javamail.

Charset conversation problem.

Hi!
I wanted to transform a ISO-8559-15 byte-Array into a valid Java String using
byte[] data = ...;
Charset iso_8559_15 = Charset.forName("ISO-8559-15");
String s = iso_8559_15.decode(ByteBuffer.wrap(data)).toString();s inclodes stranges byte-set which are neighter of UTF-8 nor ISO-8559-15 origin when writing them to a file using FileWriter.
It works perfectly well using
byte[] data = ...;
String s = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new ByteArrayInputStream(data))).readLine();Can you tell me whats wrong with using Charset/CharsetDecoder?

Probably you mean ISO-8859-15.
Check System.getProperty("file.encoding") - this is the default encoding.
I suppose it is different than ISO-8859-15 (if your second approach gives different results).
The simple way to convert byte array to string with desired charset is:
String str = new String(data, "ISO-8859-15");If you still do not achieve readable strings, check your input data.
Probably you have not-printable chars - for ISO-8859-15 in range 120-160 or most of these bellow 32.
(simple description and chars table can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-15).

Creative T7700 and DTS-100 Decoder (PROBLEMS, PLEASE HELP)

Hi
I purchased a Creative T7700 Speaker system and DTS-100 Decoder the other week but so far have had no luck getting it to work. I use a Gigabyte GA-K8NS ULTRA motherboard which came with an audio combo kit that supports 7.1. I did everything the logical way, Connecting the black wire to black socket in speaker and red tabbed wire to the red socket in speaker, I then connected each speaker to the sockets at the back of subwoofer. Then I connected the audio cables (grey, blue, orange, black) from sub to the Decoder switch, then connected the other wires from switch to the audio jacks at the back of the PC(blue plug to blue socket, black plug to black socket, orange plug to orange socket), The I connected the hardwired plugs in decoder switch to the decoder. Finally, I plugged the mains power to the decoder and subwoofer but got no sound at all. I checked the 7.1 was set up on computer and it was.
HAS ANYONE ANY IDEAS WHY I GET NO SOUND? :smileyindifferent:
1. I know I have power cause the circular green light on volume and bass controller is on.
2. I have the decoder set to analogue and tried 1,2 and 3.
3. I have tried changing the decoder switch between decoder and PC.
4. I checked I have the decoder and subwoofer set to 7.1
5. I know it isnt a problem with computer or decoder because when I plug earphones into the green audio jack in either the PC or Decoder I get sound (Although I have the decoder switch set to "PC"meaning the decoder just sits there with its little green lights making no difference at all).
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.
Thanks

I also am having this issue. Where I have installed the software for the M and after doing so I plug it in and get the Driver installation that fails to find drivers. If I try to open the creative explorer or the firmware upgrade released yesterday both say no device attached.

PLS help: animate gif decoding problem

i am making a gif animation decoders
using http://www.fmsware.com/stuff/gif.html
after i decoded the gif, i could only view the animation by ACD See, but cant view by web browser(it only show the last frame of the gif) !!
Thanks all you guy ~~~

It seems this animated gif decoder doesn't function properly. Perhaps, you may use Jimi (http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/) to decode animated gif image :
Enumeration images=Jimi.createJimiReader(inputStream, Jimi.SYNCHRONOUS).getImageEnumeration();
