HTML Encoding issue

I'm calling a web sevice that needs to pass an HTML encoded string. So, I encoded the string using cl_http_utility=>escape_html and it looks OK in the debugger (i.e. "<"). However, the web service throws an error and when I look at the ICM logs I see "&lt;" instead of "<". The web service does not like the "&". If I reformat the string and put it into SOAP UI, it works fine. Is there a profile parameter I can set to prevent this from happening?
Thank you,

the fix was to not call cl_http_utility=>escape_html in the first place. the ICM automatically escapes the string.

Embedding HTML in XML CDATA and encoding issues

Hi all,
I'm embedding HTML code in a CDATA section. My problem is that, depending on the document, the HTML can be encoded in many formats. I borrowed a piece of code that sniffs that format so i can create String in the "right" encoding (or at least the one that was guessed).
- If I directly injected those in the CDATA section, i guess they'd be encoded in UTF-8 and some character would be misinterpreted?
- What if i would transcode the HTML from the sniffed format to utf-8?
-Are there any issues woth doing this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm quite new to that kind of encoding issues.
BTW i'm using DOM.
Thanks
lexo

I don't know if it's a dumb question. I just don't understand it at all. Encoding issues only arise when you write data from a Java program to an external location, or when you read data from an external location into a Java program. And none of the activities you mentioned there have anything to do with that.
When you write your XML to an external file, or wherever you write it to, it gets encoded at that moment. The whole thing. Elements, attributes, CDATA sections, the whole thing. Doesn't matter what's in it, the whole thing gets encoded in whatever charset was chosen.
Does that help?

HTML Encoding of output with special language characters ie. Umlaut

Greetings,
Application: Crystal Reports XI RDC Runtime engine.
Output format with error: HTML
Sample Data row passed as a recordset to crystal by MS SQL Server.
lahenduse tähtaja testimine;;High;Top;C;1;01/01/2010;05/04/2010;05/04/2010
HTML encoding:
lahenduse t?¤htaja testimine
When the output of PDF or Excel are selected charaters with umlauts, tilds, etcu2026 over the letters are displaying correctly.
When the output is HTML the encoding is messed up.
Has there been a fix for this runtime engine regarding this issue?

Ludek,
The following link http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crXI_rdc_merge_modules.zip would be the correct update pack link I am looking for.
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp
As it is the runtime engine, not the crystal developer that is having the problem.
For completeness I have upgraded my developer CR XI Release 1 to SP4.
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR1
I will post again later today, once all the upgrading has been completed.

XML parser fails to convert html encoded text nodes

Under the strain of large documents this defect rears its ugly head more often. While parsing a text node containing html encoded chars i.e. < > &; etc...
The parser will seemingly forget to change the chars at random, 99.9% of the time everything is ok and the proper conversions take place:
< -> <
> -> >
&; -> &
Once an error occurs it is reproducible until the text node is changed ( values and/or order ) then it is a crapshoot again.
These tests were done using the default UTF-8 encoding, here is the exception thrown by the parser along with a portion of the text node before and after the first parsing.
Let me be clear, the parser actually succeeds the first time but the transformation of the HTML encoded pieces possibly fails. It is on the parsing of the text node value as its own document that the parser fails.
Error 0 : Error parsing XML string! Line :: 1, Column :: 65674
Error 1 : End tag does not match start tag 'Project'.

Encoding issue for file manager

I am using the ditto command to duplicate a file. This file has unicode filename and as per http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1173.html I am first normalizing the name to kCFStringNormalizationFormD and then converting it to utf-8 before calling ditto on it. This all works smoothly but when I try to get the FSRef using the original unicode name I get fnfErr. Dosn't the API CFURLGetFSRef convert the string to kCFStringNormalizationFormD? Or is there any alternate for ditto on Tiger.

no encoding issues if i use xml (xlf or xliff) bundle as xml supports utf-8 encoding.

Character encoding issue

I'm using the below give code to send mail in Trukish language.
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setText(message, "utf-8", "html");
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
Transport.send(msg);
But my customer says that he gets sometime unreadable characters in mail. I'm not able to understand how to solve this character encoding issue.
Should i ask him to change his mail client's character encoding settings?
If yes which one he should set.

Send the same characters using a different mailer (e.g., Thunderbird or Outlook).
If they're received correctly, come the message from that mailer with the message
from JavaMail. Most likely other mailers are using a Turkish-specific charset instead
of UTF-8.

Encoding issues with web application

Hi guys,
I have this wired problem that I can't seem to understand.
I use Tomcat 6 and Eclipse 3.5.1.
when I'm debugging my project, I come to this simple line:
String str = "Hebrew word";
when I look at the code, the Hebrew word is just fine, but after the debugger commit this line, the 'str' variable holds gibberish.
my project is in utf8. I have no idea what cause this.
please advise.
EDIT:
I tried using Glassfish 2.1 to see what happens, the same thing. maybe its not the server...?
Edited by: MadUser on Feb 15, 2010 1:48 AM

Thanks but not really.
I don't think that My problem concern the HTML encoding, it looks like something else messes things up.
if I write in a simple class:
String str = "non English text";
and I see it just fine in the Eclipse editor but on run time or debug the str variable holds gibberish, I am not sure who or what part is responsible for this issue.
P.S
This project use AspectJ.

Premiere and Media Encoder CC encoding issue

Hi all,
I am having an encoding issue with PP and ME CC. My video assets are fine, and on the timeline they appear how they should, but when I look at the rendered h264 video there are encoding errors in the video. I have attached two images, the black is how it should look and the white is the error. The video plays fine and then it flickers between the images shown.
It has done this on a few different videos I have rendered over the last few days and I don't know why. It also happens to a different machine on CC as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi James,
I've never seen this before. Can you give us more info? Answer all the questions on this FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

Encoding Issue : JMS and Mapping : utf-8 iso8859-1

Hi All,
I am facing some problem with encoding issue.
Scenario : JMS --> SAP PI --> JMS
Requirment : Input plain text file contain some special characters,"©®" . Based on this condition,In Java Mapping
                   we check the Payload and changed the 'encoding' tag to UTF-8 or   ISO8859-1.
               : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>     in the target XML output.
While testing in Operation mapping our Java mapping works fine. as the encodeing tag changes from
             UTF-8 to ISO8859-1 if the special character exists.But if I test the same in Integration Directory(Test Configuration)
             or did a end to end testing. The encoding tag did'nt changes.
For testing we had to a set of Plain Text files with UTF-8 and ISO8859-1 .
I tried the options of using beans in Adapter modules in Sender JMS channel.
MessageTransformBean, TextCodepageConversionBean, XmlAnonymizerBean
These doc & threads ,was also referred[How to Handle Encoding in PI|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42]

Problem could come from internal and external data format.
Depending on your SRM release, check OSS notes for report you used to generate approval mail ( RSWUWFMLEC, RBBP_NOTIFICATION_APP, etc.).

Ask to your Outlook team to have a look at Outlook settings.
You can also check OSS note 1319517 - Unicode Collection Note.

Z10 encoding issue in outgoing email

Hoping someone can help me. I've been an avid bb fan for years and my husband and I both handed in our bonds a week ago to move to the z10. We are both loving it. While my husband has had no issues with his I am very close to having no issues - except for one major one that affects me and my clients greatly. I have 2 email accounts - gmail (working without any issue at all - was up and running within a matter of minutes of receiving my z10). The other however has not been a fun or even manageable experience. My work email is web based and took a few days for me to even get it up and running. With my bold I was able to connect via Exchange but am no longer able to do so. I was told to connect via Active sync however my employer does not have this functionality and it is not supported. Following that I was told to connect using either IMAP or POP. And while I have been finally able to connect and receive my email when I SEND email it is a disaster!!!!! My out going mail seems to be adding in all of the encoding and so it becomes "unreadable" for lack of a better term. I have no idea where to turn on this. I have been constantly surfing and searching and and all forums that I can in hopes to find a resolution but have not yet found one - this is my last resort - otherwise sadly ....... Very, very sadly I will have to return my phone. Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated! Sorry for the "long-winded ness"

Wow lesedwards.. you are on fire. Jacking your issue into every email thread and getting **bleep**ed constantly.
This thread was about an encoding issue, and from your other posts you are simply having connection issues.
@Sarealex - I haven't seen this issue with any of my email accounts over IMAP, what software version are you currently using?

[SOLVED] File name encoding issue

Hi all,
I have a large series of files with accented characters, they were all displayed nicely, but at some point, when I copied them to another computer, the characters were replaced by codes, for instance: "ó" --> "Ã³".
+Renaming ie. "PasÃ³" (bad encoding of "Pasó") --> Pasó, while writing it, it shows the correct character, but when pressing enter the name remains ("PasÃ³")
+If I rename the file to something else and then to the correct name, it will accept it: PasÃ³ --> Pas --> Pasó will display correctly.
I don't know if it's a system wide encoding issue because new files are displayed correctly, but I would like to know if I have to change file names manually to make them right.
PS. When copying bad encoded files to another FS (like a USB drive), nautilus and bash refuse to copy them.

the below values are the example for same set of records but the values are changed while importing into the sql server database..
2pk Etiquetas Navide‰as 3000-HG
2pk Etiquetas Navideñas 3000-H
Is there anyway to change the first column values into the second column value ?
By looking at the data we can say its the code page issue..(Character encoding issue)..but how to convert it?
Convertting(2pk Etiquetas Navide‰as 3000-HG)
to get 2pk Etiquetas Navideñas 3000-H in the select query?

Then it seems that you can do the obvious: replace it.
DECLARE @Sample TABLE ( Payload NVARCHAR(255) );
INSERT INTO @Sample
VALUES ( N'2pk Etiquetas Navide‰as 3000-HG' );
UPDATE @Sample
SET Payload = REPLACE(Payload, N'‰', N'ñ');
SELECT S.Payload
FROM @Sample S;

MSOutlook HTML newsletter issues - large gaps between large images and small gaps...

Please can you help me!
Searched the web & found plently of advice but still getting formatting display issue when viewing HTML newsletter in MS Outlook.
Fully aware on the basics regarding the multiple issues when creating HTML newsletters but this is driving me crazy.
Apparently there is a image height limit within Outlook (can't find out what this is) so I have sliced my larger images into 5/6 parts which solves the display issue in Outlook.
But the gaps between the slices are now being displayed as small blank spaces within Hotmail.
I did use <br> between each slice as without caused the fixed 600px wide containing table to expand due to the slices stacking hoz.
Also still getting small gaps (like <br> spaces) between all images in Outlook when displaying perfectly (no gaps) in a browser.
This is my newsletter displaying correctly via a browser:

Using Dreamweaver 4 (do have the latest version via Adobe Creative Cloud Membership but not on this system).
Hope you can help
Many thanks

Many thanks David
I also found this article which is currently sitting on my desk.
Pdf would make perfect sense or even a url link to view via a browser but these guys need it contained within the email.
Thanks again for your kind advice.

Java to Excel encoding issue.

I'm trying to export my data in to Excel file. When I open the excel file the Japanese characters looks garbled.
iResponse.setHeader("attachment ; filename = \"" + reportFileName() + "\" ", "content-disposition");
iResponse.setHeader("application/vnd.ms-excel;","content-type");
iResponse.setHeader("UTF-8","Content-Encoding");
By Googling I learnt that Excel doesn't like UTF-8 format. Is there any other way I can export the data.
Thanks.

Specifying the content encoding for a binary format like Excel is pointless. You are producing native Excel format, aren't you? If you're producing a CSV file and claiming it's Excel, you should have mentioned that.
Anyway: you're producing native Excel using something like Apache POI, I suppose? I would have thought it handled encoding issues, but check its documentation or its FAQ to see if that's really the case.
Another option, which may or may not be feasible, is to use the new Office 2007 format. It's based on XML, so all of the encoding issues are automatically handled.
