Junk Characters in HTML Post

The application has notes field where user can type a few hundred chars of data. Some times users do copy from Word and paste into these notes field - This is posting some junk characters. Is there any way to take care of these extra characters? Some of the caharcters are needed to be carried and can't be discarded. Should I treat this as multi-part data? Along with Notes field, there are other fields too which carry regular data? In that case, does the form data type become multipart/mixed ? Are there any classes readily available that can handle mixed data?

Depending on the file system and platform in use it may be necessary to rename the files on the OS level separately from the Oracle rename operation. To do that you can ususally use double quotes around the file name. It may be necessary to also escape a character if one of the characters is an OS meta-character like '$' in UNIX.
If you set your command line editing to vi then ctrl-v can be used to insert a non-printable character inside you double quoted file name.

Junk characters display while using multipart with html content in Javamail

Hi All,
I have used Java mail API to send mail with attachment. To enable to attachment in mail and to do content formatting i have used multipart and html content type together.
My web application runs on apache tomcat 5.5 in MAC server. Java version is 1.5.
The Function which i have used for sending mail with attachment is as follows:
public void sendmailAttached(String to,String from,String host,boolean debug,String mailContent,String mailSubject,String cc,String attachFiles)
 String mailarray[]=to.split(";");
 Properties props = new Properties();
 //props.put("mail.smtp.port","425");
 props.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
 if (debug) props.setProperty("mail.debug", ""+debug);
 Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
 session.setDebug(debug);
 try {
 Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
 msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
 javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[] toAddress=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[mailarray.length];
 for (int i=0;i<mailarray.length ;i++ )
 toAddress=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(mailarray[i]);
 msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
 msg.setSubject(mailSubject);
 try{
 String ccaray =cc;
 String mailarray1[]=ccaray.split(";");
 javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[] CCAddress=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[mailarray1.length];
 for (int i=0;i<mailarray1.length ;i++ )
 CCAddress[i]=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(mailarray1[i]);
 msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC,CCAddress);
 }catch(Exception ss)
 System.out.println("CC mail exception is ====>"+ ss.getMessage());
 msg.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
 Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related");
 BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 messageBodyPart.setContent(mailContent, "text/html");
 multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
 String fileName = attachFiles.substring(attachFiles.lastIndexOf("/")+1,attachFiles.length());
 if(!fileName.equals(""))
 messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 DataSource source = new FileDataSource(attachFiles);
 messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
 messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
 multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
 msg.setContent(multipart);
 Transport.send( msg );
 catch(MessagingException mex)
 Exception ex = mex;
 if (ex instanceof SendFailedException)
 SendFailedException sfex = (SendFailedException)ex;
Address[] invalid = sfex.getInvalidAddresses();
if (invalid != null) {
if (invalid != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < invalid.length; i++)
System.out.println("Invalid Addresss --------> " + invalid[i]);
try
 Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
 msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
 Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related");
 BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 messageBodyPart.setContent(mailContent, "text/html");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
Address[] validUnsent = sfex.getValidUnsentAddresses();
javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[] toAddress=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[validUnsent.length];
if (validUnsent != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < validUnsent.length; i++)
System.out.println("Valid Address ------>"+validUnsent[i]);
String test = validUnsent[i]+"";
toAddress[i]=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(test);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
msg.setSubject(mailSubject);
String fileName = attachFiles.substring(attachFiles.lastIndexOf("/")+1,attachFiles.length());
 if(!fileName.equals(""))
 messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 DataSource source = new FileDataSource(attachFiles);
 messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
 messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
 multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
msg.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send( msg );
catch(Exception e)
 System.out.println("Mail Not Send");
 else
 System.out.println("Mail Server Not Connectd ");
This code is working properly and i am able to send mail with attachment and html formatted content without any problem. But console of server is filled up with too much junk characters because of which the catalina.out file of tomcat server is becoming fully filled.
Sample cosnole display with junk characters are as follows:
Subject: HBSP - DRUCKER - QC - CH16 - QC R2 Completed

Like this display of junk characters are filling up multiple pages of console file.
Can any one suggest me how to overcome this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

There is no "sendmail" method in the JavaMail API.
The debug flag is set using the Session.setDebug method, or by setting the Session property "mail.debug".
If you're using someone else's helper classes with JavaMail, they may provide another way to set it.

Junk characters like" � � "displayed in the jsp page please help.

Hi,
I am getting junk characters like � � displayed in the jsp page.
In the JSP page i used javascript "& nbsp" for appending spaces to a string "CCR" to get "CCR " .
Now the Resultant string "CCR " has three spaces appended to its right.
This String is set in session in that JSP page.
In the next JSP page i am getting that string from session.
After getting the string the "substring" function is performed to get only the first 5 charcters of the string. Now the result is displayed as " CCR� � " with has last 2 characters as junk values � � insteed of displaying as "CCR ". Please help me in solving this issue.
Please note that initially the sting "CCR" is got from the Oracle database in Solaris Machine.
Regards,
Vijay

have you tried:
strenuously inspecting the string that is coming from the db? do an actual loop over the string, character by character, dumping to System.out to make sure the characters are EXACT coming out of the db.
note you have to append " " not just "& nbsp"
post the code that is doing the output. the relevant bean code, the jsp, everything relevant - WITH COMMENTS discussing where things are happening.
Also, is it "weird characters" in the browser only? have you done a view source on the actual html source that the browser is rendering (right click in IE and click view source). browsers can act odd if you don't feed then exactly what they want, and it looks like you're feeding it escaped characters that it is rendering as something else.

Junk characters displayed when viewing BEx query through WAD

Hello,
I am trying to display the results of a web report containing a BEx query through the "Execute in the Browser" option in WAD. But, junk Chinese characters keep showing up in the display. Also, if I try the same with one of the older web reports, they display fine. But, the moment I make a copy of these and execute without any modifications, the junk characters show up again.
I tried executing through RSRT and there my report works perfectly. So, what could be going wrong or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!
Menaz

Thanks Emma.
We figured it was related to the Unicode charset while I was going through the source code. I don't think there is any permanent fix yet. But, I followed the posting below and am trying to temporarily fix the error:
Web Application Designer Appearing in Unicode (UTF-8)
Thank you!

Bitmap reports(Junk characters)

Report Gurus,
Whenever I am converting a character mode report to bitmap, I end up with lot of junk characters in the report output. And at most of the times I've to manually play around with the fonts of the layout and after lot of hit & trial's the output appears. Can anyone shed some light on why does this happen? Why does the output turn into junk if one is converting a character mode report to bitmap? I am running the reports in Oracle Application's framework, does that have anything to do with this?
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

WriteUTF() append junk characters to Bluetooth printer

Hi guys,
I am having problem sending printing to a portable bluetooth printer.
It always print out additional junk characters in front of the content.
Example:
KHello World
**It should be display "Hello World" only. A random characters will be display in front of the content, for
this case is the letter "K". I google and search many forums but found nothing that can help me solve this
problem. I know WriteUTF() will add 2 bytes in front to my string. FYI. I previously use WriteChars() to print
english words but now need to use WriteUTF to print the Chinese words. Is there anyway to fix this? Any help
will be appreciated.
My Coding:
============
String url = "btspp://00099BC9BC98:1;authenticate=false;encrypt=false;master=false";
StreamConnection con = (StreamConnection) Connector.open( url );
DataOutputStream out = con.openDataOutputStream();
retStr = "Hello World"; //This is a message with english and chinese characters
out.writeUTF(retStr);
out.write(0x0A); //print & line feed
Thread.sleep(500);
out.flush();
out.close();
con.close();

Hi,
there's no direct support for the format triggers out of Oracle Reports. Therefore they are mentioned in the log file and in the created layout after conversion the objects with format triggers are colored red to show, that there you had to do some additional work.
Currently you had to built the logic of format triggers in BI Publisher new. Hve a look in the User Guide, there are some examples for if or choose statements.

Junk characters in data transfer Program

Hello ABAP gurus,
i am facing the problem in an custmom made ABAP Interface program. the program has an option of downloading the files in local system(Windows system) and in Unix system (AL11). when i dwnload the files locally and feed that file to a CRM system, the CRM processes the file correctly but in case if we schedule a job then the CRM reads the file from Unix system and generates an error showing the junk characters for the special european characters. please request you guys to help me in this regard.

Hi,
When you download the file locally are able to see the junk character in the file.
Logon on to the unix system and check the file content there and if any junk characters are there, usually when we upload the file then you will have those junk character being populated at the end of the record, open the file in unix and then remove those characters and reprocess that again, it will get through.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Generate html post request from form9i applet

I need to interact with a 3rd party credit card processing server form my form9i application.I need to create a html post request with all the input information encapsulated in it and also receive the http response and parse it and display an alert in the form(approved or rejected).Can I do that?
any answer is going to help me greatly
Sathi

GET method may be the easier way. web.show_document('your_url?v1=123&v2=abc'); as of POST method, I guess you need JSP to do it, but how to do it from applet, I like to know too.
getting back info, I used perl to read the html POST data on web server, then perl parses it and writes to a file on server, then use text_io or utl_file to read data into webform applet fields.
The drawback I found that the cursor will not get back to webform applet from html pages. I tried to print every possible Javascript methods to wake up it, but it cannot get it.
