JDBC + SERVLET: inserting text data to access file from Html form

Question

Hi everybody !
I'm trying to insert text data from my html form to access database using servlet and jdbc technologies.
The problem that I'm that the data is TEXT, but not the English language !!!
So my access db file gets - ???????? symbols instead the real text.
This is the form line that sending data to my servlet:
<form
method="POST"
ACTION=http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet enctype="text/html">
And this is servlet line that defines response content:
res.setContentType( "text/html" );
What can I do to get in access db file the right text format and not a ???????? symbols.
Maybe I must to ad some <meta ...> , but where ?

Answer 1

You're dealing with Unicode, I'd guess, and not ASCII.
I guess I'd have two questions:
(1) Is the character encoding on your pages set properly for the language you're trying to use?
(2) Does Access handle Unicode characters?
Access isn't exacly a world-class database. (If it was, there'd be no reason for M$ to develop SQL Server.) I'd find out if it supports other character sets. If not, you'll have to switch to a more capable database that does. - MOD
