Encoding-Special Character-poi

HI
I am trying to read data from xls file using POI api's for some special character when trying to read Im not getiing them read or uploded into database properly. However the same data when uploaded from txt file using a text parser is being read properly.
Can anyone tell me where to set the encoding of the data read from xls to iso-8859-1 in
POI api's .
One more thing do we set or get encoding for cell or workbook.
Thanks in advance

When you use an UDF and you have programmed a Sax parser, then make sure, that the parser works with the correct encoding. So when the result of the webservice is  ISO-8859-1, then assign this to the parser.
In principle the encoding should be part of XML header. Make sure that the encoding of the response is the same as declared in XML header.

  • Special Character Issue in Country Name Côte d'Ivoire encoding ISO-88509-1

    soa suite 10.1.3.4
    I am reading an xml file using file adapter. The file has encoding type ISO-88509-1 and the country name is coming as <country_name>Côte d'Ivoire</country_name>.
    When I see the BPEL instance, this character is converted to "C\234te d'Ivoire" jumbled character. The target endpoints receives the country name in jumbled format only. I can't change the incoming file format. Is there a way I can read it properly and keep the special character as it is during SOA process.
    Any idea how can I progress in this issue?

    Any idea on this ? My soa suite server is on Solaris and the folder where I am reading the file from is on Windows.

  • Need to prevent special character in generated XML file

    Hello,
    I am using E-business Suite 12.1.3 and XML version 5.6.3.
    My XML file is ending up with a special character (a Latin capital letter U with circumflex) at the end, after the final closing tag.
    Due to this the concurrent program that needs to output the XML is ending with warning.
    My XML file is produced using a PL/SQL procedure, as follows (I've simplified it):
    FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>');
    FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<DOCS>');
    FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<LETTER>');
    FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<EMP_NAME>Michaela Hart</EMP_NAME>');
    FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</LETTER>');
    FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</DOCS>');
    But when I run the concurrent request that creates the output then try to view the output in Internet Explorer I get the following error:
    Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://servername.domain...
    </DOCS>
    If I view the source of the page in Internet Explorer it shows a square after </DOCS> indicating the special character that has been added.
    I checked this by looking at the output file in unix (cat -v o7766582.req) and it showed up the Latin U character.
    I realise it could be to do with the character set I am using. I checked what we had on the server:
    > echo $NLS_LANG
    American_America.UTF8
    I would have thought that corresponded with the XML declaration character set but I'm not sure.
    Does anyone have any other ideas about why I have this special character, and how it could be removed?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hazel

    Hi AlexAnd,
    thanks very much for your reply.
    I'm now unable to recreate the problem since dbms_xmlgen worked. If I switch back to my previous method it works fine!
    I'm not sure your suggestion would help, as there were no special characters in the data, the special character was added after the last tag I output. I hard coded the data (as in my example) for testing purposes so there was no SQL in use and the special character was still added at the end of the XML output. But I will definitely give it a try if I get the problem again.
    I had the idea that maybe I should have been using FND_FILE.PUT rather than FND_FILE.PUT_LINE but now the error is gone I can't tell if that would have solved the problem either.
    I appreciate your input.
    Regards
    Hazel

    There are 5 special characters which in xml   & < > "  '  if the Oracle fields contain any of those characters it will cause invaild xml.
    This can be solved at the oracle side be replacing the special characters by it's  html encode equivalent, so  & becomes &amp; , I think the best way to solve it
    is to make a custom pipeline component and translate the special characters there.
    There is my Send Port Properties. Do you mean the default biztalk pipeline component ("XML Receive") cannot translate any special characters?

  • LR 2 - special character in caption field

    I'm using LR 2.6 and a custom template to generate a flash gallery.
    The problem is my language which is Norwegian and contains characters like æøå and these behave strange when creating a web gallery.
    In the library the caption field looks ok, but when exported to web, they make an extra whitespace and that's annoying.
    I've looked into the xml file and can't see any whitespace there, so probably the problem appears when the swf file is created.
    How do I control the output in the caption field when using special characters?
    I've tried to change the encoding in the group.xml file, but it doesn't help. Also tried using entities for the characters such as &#229; and &aring;, it didn't help either.

    Hi 
    Refer this link
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6e7a7eae-26fc-467f-bfdc-7c5d5ff49a95/discussion-forum-storing-special-character-in-title-differently?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy
    It seems that SharePoint will allow the Title of the discussion board to remain with the special characters, but the actual URL will not be allowed and will strip them from the final URL.  SharePoint Manager easily shows this, btw.
    So, there are probably many different ways to get what you are looking for, but one way could be to have a Linq query look for all Discussion Boards on a given site and then return the Title and the DefaultViewUrl, which the latter could then be prefixed by
    the SPWeb.Url to give you something like "Testing? , /" for the title and http://mysite/Lists/Testing/AllItems.aspx (assuming
    that is the actual default view) which you could then use as the final URL for your hyperlink in your web part.
    In the code snippet below you can see the Linq query (which I assumed from your post that you need to query to find the Discussion Boards) and a simple DataTable that you could then use to populate a repeater or you just omit the DataTable and
    enumerate the results from the query yourself:
    var linqResults
    = from list in oSPWeb.Lists.Cast<SPList>() where list.BaseTemplate
    == SPListTemplateType.DiscussionBoardselect list;
    DataTable oDataTable
    = new DataTable();
    DataColumn oDataColumn_Title
    = new DataColumn("Title", typeof(string));
    oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_Title);
    DataColumn oDataColumn_URL
    = new DataColumn("URL", typeof(string));
    oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_URL);
    foreach (SPList oSPList in linqResults)
    DataRow oDataRow
    = oDataTable.NewRow();
    oDataRow[
    "Title"]
    = oSPList.Title.ToString();
    oDataRow[
    "URL"]
    = oSPWeb.Url + oSPList.DefaultViewUrl.ToString();
    oDataTable.Rows.Add(oDataRow);

  • How to deal with special character in source file

    Hi experts,
                      i am doing a file to file scenario in which my source file contains many special characters when i am puting this file into moni its going with the special character .My source file is a fixed length file so in content conversion i have specified the file length but due to these special charcters these field lenght is also varing.So please guide me how to deal with these special characters in sender adapter
    regards,
    Saurabh

    you could try using a Java Mapping to change the encoding manually. For that, set the encoding of the OutputFormat of the XML you'll serialize. Try the following code piece for the mapping (inside a try/catch declaration):
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document input = documentBuilder.parse(in);
    OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(XML, "ISO-8859-1", false);
    XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);

  • How to insert special character in sgm file and interprete it without isoents while opening in FM9.0

    I have an sgm file which contains special characters in different languages.
    <!DOCTYPE MANUAL PUBLIC "-//SWE-XXX//DTD XXX MANUAL-DTD 2.0//EN">
    <MANUAL LANG="CS">
    <TITEL>
    Polish characters: &oacute;&ecirc;&iquest;&ntilde;&aelig;&Ntilde;&AElig;&Ecirc;&yen;&Oacute;&pound;
    Czech characters: &eacute;&igrave;&oacute;&iuml;&aacute;&oslash;&egrave;&iacute;&ugrave;&ograve;&uacute;&Og rave;&Igrave;&Eacute;&Oacute;&Uacute;&Ugrave;&Egrave;&Oslash;&Iacute;&Aacute;&Iuml; aacute: &aacute;</TITEL>
    </MANUAL>
    Is there any way to insert special character directly in sgm file, so that it won't have to be interpreted by isoents mapping rules?
    isoent.rwr interpretes oacute as:
    entity "oacute" is fm char 0x00F3;
    But I would like to use 0x00F3 directly in fm file, so that if any additional character is needed - I won't have to update isoent files
    I've tested already:
    &#x00F3;
    &x00F3;
    &0x00F3;
    but with no luck
    Is there anyone who could help me with it?
    I will really appreciate your help
    /Joanna

    Hi Michael. Thank you for your reply.
    There is no declaration within sgm file itself - but while opening the file I use sgml application definition with the following settings:
    Default API client:  FmTranslator
    SGML character encoding:  ISO Latin1
    XML character encoding:  UTF-8
    Namespace: Enable
    CSS2 Preferences:
    Generate CSS2: Disable
    Add Fm CSS Attribute To XML: Disable
    Retain Stylesheet Information: Disable
    Entity locations
    Entity search paths
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\Structure\sgml\isoents
    So as you can see, character encoding is set to ISO Latin1 (there is no way to use UTF-8 encoding in sgml files)
    Typing ź or ć in sgm document and opening it with framemaker sgml application - I receive: ¿æ and message: "Non-SGML character found; should have been character reference"
    Everything works fine when I type f.ex.: &x016B; and insert appropriate reference lines into isolat1.rw and isolat1.ent files
    But what I would like to avoid is editing those isoent files each time new character is be needed.

  • Problem with special character in Unix file

    Hi All,
    Need a help here. We have unicoded our system recently.
    It's regarding a special character (umlaut) that comes through a 3rd party system to an Unix file. This gets displayed in AL11 file as # instead of ö.
    As our program picks the file from Unix, it also has the # but we want ö.
    We could have done some fixes in our code to fix if AL11 file at least had ö and we got # in our program.
    But it's the other way round. So, how can we get rid of this issue? Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Sanj.

    How Al11 is reading file ? Look for
    OPEN DATASET "yourfilename" IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT
                                  IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
    If the above code is there .. you might need to play with different 'OPEN DATASET " options .
    Also look for Note 1174468 - Non-7bit-ASCII characters used in ABAP Workbench
                       Note 1227961 - Names of text fields with non-7-bit ASCII characters

  • Problem in dealing with special-character filename

    Hi,
    I am facing a weird problem while dealing with a file which has a special character in its name. That character is the big-hyphen, i.e. '–' (not the normal hyphen we can type from keyboard), you would have seen this character in MS Word.
    My java program is running on HP-UX OS, and its basically trying to copy this file to a Windows target system through socket. But while executing it, I am getting Broken Pipe Exception.
    I am applying UTF-8 encoding while running my program (by specifying the argument "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in the java process), and I am also confirming that the file-encoding is being applied to UTF-8 properly by putting a debug in the beginning of the program. My understanding is UTF-8 supports all the characters exist in this world.
    Any suggestion / pointers would be really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rajiv

    Fine..... but is there any way to know which encoding has been applied on it ..
    Let's say if you create any file on unix-based system in any application, which encoding gets applied there by default ?
    This file is basically nothing but an html page created using 'Save As' from the browser.
    The person who has created the file is a non-technical .. and won't know much about this all stuff... encoding etc.

  • Special Character being replaced by Question Marks in Java Mapping

    Hi All,
    I need some help on Java Mapping related to special characters.
    The problem is that i'm using a Java Mapping to add some information to the XML inside the Interface Mapping. This works fine on our development environment but, in our production environment, it replaces the special character with question marks (eg.: á --> ??).
