How to Export the chinese character in excel using java

Question

Hi,
Our application using in English, German, Franch and chinese.
String chineseCharacter=""; // chineseCharacter like 長长牀床東东彿佛. This chinese data coming from oracle database..
My code
BufferedWriter printer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(responses.getOutputStream(),"utf-8"));
responses.setContentType("application/download");
responses.setHeader("Cache-Control", "cache");
responses.setHeader("pragma", "cache");
ExcelCSVPrinter outcr = new ExcelCSVPrinter(printer);
String displayname="ChineseReport.csv";
responses.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=\"" + displayname + "\"");
outcr.write("Report Header Name");
outcr.writeln();
outcr.write(chineseCharacter);
outcr.writeln();
After export the data to excel show the result for 長长牀床東东彿佛. But not show the original result 長长牀床東东彿佛
I use the following stmt
responses.setContentType("text/html charset=UTF-8");
Its shows the correct result for chinese character.
I use the below statement
responses.setContentType("application/download; charset=UTF-8");
or
responses.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excelset;charset=UTF-8");      
or     
responses.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel;charset=UTF-8");
The out put show the in the excel sheet ???????? or some other jung characters.
What can i do here?. After export,I want to show the original chinese character in the excel sheet using the ExcelCSVPrinter.
Thanks & Regards
Thendral

Hi,
Our application using in English, German, Franch and chinese.You have several different idioms in your application and have not accurately identified where the actual problem is. You have all of the following
-database
-http
-excel
-excel in http
-display on the target computer
The first step with these sorts of problem is to identify where the problem actually occurs.
String chineseCharacter=""; // chineseCharacter like 長长牀床東东彿佛. This chinese data coming from oracle database..A good theory. Now explain how you proved that that is what is coming from the database.
After export the data to excel show the result for 長长牀床東东彿佛.As another example. Presumably you are referring to what the browser on the target computer displays. Your theory is that that computer and that browser (together) will display the correct information if they had the correct data. How did you prove that?
