Jaxb unmarshal error due to iso-8859-15 character set

I am currently attempting to use JAXB to handle XML unmarshaling. Is there a way to set the encoding used to unMarshall a message to iso-8859-15 as the messages coming in do not have an xml header with encoding specified?

I don't understand. If the XML messages coming in don't specify their own encoding, then their encoding must be UTF-8 or UTF-16. There's no possibility that their encoding can be ISO-8859-15. So why would you want to use ISO-8859-15 to decode them?

Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
* [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
# The ''Content-Type'' response header.
# The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

...Sun's not Oracle (yet). You will have better luck on a forum relating to whatever is producing that "oracle-character-set..." output.
Edit:
Although a Google search for "testing oracle-character-set" yields only this thread. Are you sure that output isn't part of your program?

Reverting from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hi,
i have a database installed in UTF-8, it´s a new instalation and the guides i had didnt mention any restrictions on characterset for the teams that were migrating.
Well the problem is some teams are moving some of their projects to the new server and can´t insert in a VARCHAR2 (3), for example the word "não".
My question is: Can i change the whole database to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 in order to have words like "não" inserted correctly? If so, is it a simple alter database or a more complicated operation?
Another question, is there any possibility of letting the database as is and make it work without expanding the fields value restriction?
Alx

You can't change a database character set from ISO-8859-1 to UTF8. You can only move from one character set to a strict superset, which doesn't apply here. The supported way to change the character set here would be to create a new database with the ISO-8859-1 character set, export the existing data, and import it into the new system. That assumes, of course, that all the existing characters have an ISO-8859-1 representation (characters like the Euro symbol or Microsoft's curly quotes do not).
By default, a VARCHAR2(3) allocates 3 bytes of space for data. That gets complicated when you use a multi-byte character set like UTF-8 where a character like 'ã' requires 2 bytes of storage. You can define the columns as VARCHAR2(3 CHAR) to allocate 3 characters of storage regardless of the character set. You can also set the parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR to make the default when you create a table that character rather than byte length semantics are set. Personally, if I'm creating a UTF8 database, I'd want to set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR.

Convert text to Iso-8859-1

Dear experts,
Is there a function module or method available to convert text to the Iso-8859-1 character set?
Or might it be possible to integrate it in OPEN DATASET TEXT MODE ENCODING WITH ? Only UTF-8 seems to be available.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Use this:
DATA: iso TYPE cpcodepage.
"get code page by name
CALL FUNCTION 'SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME'
EXPORTING
    external_name       = 'ISO-8859-1'

Labview support for ISO 8859-5

HI,
does Labview support ISO 8859-5 character sets?
If yes, then how do i change the default character set in Labview from ASCII to ISO 8859-5?
If no, then which is the simplest way to display russian characters in Labview 6.1 (Labview 6.1 on SuSE LINUX)
Thanks and Regards,
Pavitra

Hi Pavitra,
There is a very easy way to do that in Windows. Start>Settings>Regional and Language Options. Make sure Russian is included as an input language language on the language tab, as well as on the advanced tab where you can specify the language for non-unicode programs.
I have attached a screenshot that demonstrates cyrillic fonts in LabVIEW. The example is done with Bulgarian font, but it should work the same way with Russian. As you can see I have also specified Arial CYR as my font for the front panel and the block diagram.
Try to use the same logic for a Linux system.
Hope that helps!

Put euro symbol in ISO-8859-1 database

is it possible to use jdbc to store a euro symbol in oracle with character set ISO-8859-1 then retrieve the information with jdbc and write it to a ISO-8859-15 textfile and display the euro symbol properly. i'm trying to do this and it doesn't work. as output i use a OutputStreamWriter object in Java using ISO-8859-15 to create an XML file and then i open it in Internet Explorer. it doen't recognize the euro symbols. strange thing is that when i view the source in notepad it does display the euro symbols properly. just using the OutputStreamWriter to write euro symbols also works well.
i'm trying to find out what is causing this problem but i'm not quite sure. i never before had problems with character sets so it's all a bit new to me.
thank you in advance.

The ISO-8859-1 character set does not contain the Euro character, so the database cannot hold it properly. If you want the Euro character to appear in your database, you would have to change the database character set to something that can store the euro character (or make use of your national character set, if that will store the euro character).

Codepage coverting error utf-8 from System codepage to iso-8859-1 (PI 7.1)

Hello Experts,
In our Prcess, we receive an Idoc from an IS-U system and then we send this Idoc with some Header-Information via http-Adapter to a Seeburger System.
In the outbound communication Channel we have a XI Payload manipulation with xml-Code iso-8859-1.
We get the Error: Codepage coverting error utf-8 from System codepage to iso-8859-1, and only for this Idoc, where othe similar Idocs runs correctly.
Is it possible, that the Idoc contains non-utf-8 chars so the error occurs?
PS: another XI in our landscape uses a http-Channel with the same configuration in a similar process, an it work, so guess the Problem is not in the communication channel.
thanks,
best regards

> Is it possible, that the Idoc contains non-utf-8 chars so the error occurs?
A would rather think, that there could be any non-iso-8859-1 character be in the IDoc. For example an czech or polish character.

Problems with reading XML files with ISO-8859-1 encoding

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

Help needed to enable ISO-8859-1 encoding in Weblogic 10.3

We have upgraded from Weblogic 10 to Weblogic 10.3. In the old environment foreign characters (iso-8859-1 charater set) were enabled using the Java properties "*-Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 -Dclient.encoding.override=iso-8859-1*".
Also, we set the page encoding in the JSPs to be
_'<%@ page pageEncoding="iso-8859-1" contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" %>'._
This was working fine. We were able to input characters like euro (€) and display it back to user.
After we upgraded to Weblogic 10.3, I applied the same Java properties, all the special characters of the 8859-1 set like Æ, Ã etc are just displayed as garbled text like 'ï¿½ï¿½ï' etc. So, the new server is unable to handle/encode these characters.
Our weblogic environment is - Weblogic appserver 10.3, JRockit 1.6.0_31-R28.2.3-4.1.0 running on Linux OS.
Is there any additional seting in 10.3 to encode character sets?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kalyan,
Thanks for the info. Please help me understand just one more thing, before I ask our server team to apply the patch.
I checked the full version of our Weblogic server from WEBLOGIC_HOME/registry.xml. It is *<component name="WebLogic Server" version="10.3.6.0" >*.
The patch from MOS says it is *"Release WLS 10.3.3"*. Does this mean the version 10.3.6 should already have this patch? Is the release of Patch same as WLS version?
Should I still go ahead and install the patch for this version 10.3.6 also?
Thanks again.
- Shankar.

Big5 to ISO-8859-1

Hi, I want to convert a big5 chinese character to ISO-8859-1 character (&#xxxxx;)
Here is my code:
String record = "��~"; //a big5 string
System.out.println("BIG5: " + record); //Display ok
byte[] b = record.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
String target = new String(b, "ISO-8859-1");
System.out.println("Target: " + target);
But I can't get the ISO-8859-1 code which like &#xxxxx; but gives me ???.
Please advice.

ISO-8859-1 DO have chinese characters
In JSP, when I submit a chinese value in a form, I "ll
receive this chinese characters in ISO-8859-1
encodings and get: 好人 (In chinese:
�n�H)
And when I put this ISO-8859-1 characters in the value
field of a form, the html gives me chinese character
in Big5 correctly.
I just don't know how to convert ISO-8859-1 to Big5 in
Java and vice versa.
Please help.ISO-8859-1 doesn't support chinese characters.
The reason that you can received chinese characters from a html form was because the charset of that html page was set to BIG-5. When a user makes a request, all request parameters and values will be encoded with the charset of the HTML page.

1. the xml response from the servlet: xml.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n\n")
2. the original XSD which the JAXB classes was generated from
3. In the client, after recieving the string containing the XML: bytes b[] = xmlString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
4. In the client; when posting to the server: httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1");
Yet, JAXB still thinks I'm doing UTF-8 here! Did I forget something?

HTTP-Receiver: Code page conversion error from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hello experts,
In one of our interfaces we are using the payload manipulation of the HTTP receiver channel to change the payload code page from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. And from time to time we are facing the following error:
u201CCode page conversion error UTF-8 from system code page to code page ISO-8859-1u201D
Iu2019m quite sure that this error occurs because of non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the processed message. And here comes my question:
Is it possible to change the error behaviour of the code page converter, so that the error will be ignored?
Perhaps the converter could replace the disruptive character with e.g. u201C#u201D?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas
