NLS problem in PDK v2

I've installed oc4j_extended, PDK v2 examples in Portal 3.0.9.8.2 with
Russian Language Supplement.
My DB LNS_CHARSET is CL8MSWIN1251.
NLS_LANG environment variable for starting Apache russian_cis.CL8MSWIN1251.
So Question: Why when i change portal language to Russian all localized messages
(like "Customize") in PDK v2 potrlet examples became ??????? in Netscape 4.7.
Other portal portlets is Ok.
So more strange for me, IE and NS6 shows all characters correct.
Any suggestion?
Regards, Vladimir.

Thanks for the assistance James.
I've look at the URL-based portlet "urlnls". Only one thing I understudy from example is using tag <charSet>iana_charset</charSet>.
As described in XML.TAG.REFERENCE.V2.XML.HTML this tag may be used with oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.RenderManager
and oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.FileRenderer. So I'll try change my portlet to RendererManager.
But ... what I can't understand, why I do need do this... I insert simple cod in existing portlet
out.println("Current character set is \"" + pr.getURLCharSet() + "\"");
Result right in all browsers.
Regards,
Vladimir

JHeadstart NLS problems on Linux

I'm having problems generating nls resource files on our Red Hat Linux machine.
I set the resource bundle type to propertiesFile, but the ApplicationResources.properties file doesn't contain the correct information.

Is this a known problem? From my perspective It looks as though it can't find the nls templates (I specified the service setting "Templates Base Directory" to "/templates/"),
The pages themselves are generated correctly (except for the nls problems).

Hi Steven,
I downloaded JHS 10.1.3.2 build 51 and under Linux I created a new application using the HR schema. This time, all prompts and tabs did have the correct labels like they have under Windows. Thanks so much for the fix!
By the way, in the console from which I started JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 I do see a couple of these messages when I generate with JHeadstart.
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:558)
at oracle.jsp.provider.JspFilesystemResource.setRoots(JspFilesystemResource.java:126)
at oracle.jsp.provider.JspFilesystemResource.init(JspFilesystemResource.java:118)

at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:512)
at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:462)
At first I thought these messages could be linked to the warnings I get when I first generate an application. But they also appear on successive generations. Some further investigation revealed that these messages only are thrown after or at the end of the first generation after JDeveloper has been started. When I then regenerate, the messages no longer appear until I restart JDeveloper. As far as I can see nothing is missing from the files generated by JHeadstart but I need to investigate further to be sure.
Thanks, Wouter

OAS 4.0.8.2 and NLS problem

Hi,
I migrated from OAS 4.0.8.1 to ...2.
When I setup the net80 configuration using Easynet config I get the following error from the testing of the connection:
ORA-12705: Invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified.
It just worked fine with the earlier version of OAS.
Anyone...pls...

Problem solved.
I deleted OAS 4.0.8.2.0 and installed Web-to-go. Then I installed OAS 4.0.8.2.0.

Problems in pdk and jpdk samples?

Any known problems in the samples externalApp and iFame that comes with the latest PDK and JPDK?
I tried to install these samples by following exactly the steps in the installation html files. But, when trying to test the installation in the last step. The error messages showed up:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /servlet/flightsprov on this server."
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access
/servlet/iframe on this server."
By the way, there is no "externalApp.jar in the jpdk
Do I miss any thing? Are there walkaround?

This post is best suited to the Oracle Portal Development Kit (PDK) forum.

Problem with PDK

PDK Component Starter&Viewer does not work.
When I click on "PDK Component Starter&Viewer" I see only some tabs (Overview Detail Favorites) and no other information, no list of components... Page is blank ((.
What's problem?
P.S. NW04. PDK Version 70.7.0

I am guessing that you are talking about the controls in the design view in VS?
If so, you should change the LINK tag in the html view to reference the right installation directory.
By defualt, It was changed in patch 2 to
C:\Program Files\SAP\Portal Add-in for Visual Studio 2003\Controls ...

Problem using pdk-html:multibox and pdk-html:checkbox

Hi all,
I am developing a PDK struts application using OC4J 10.1.2. I have to create some form pages which are going to have some checkboxes. I have tried to follow the following code in order to use the pdk version of the checkbox in my form:
in jsp file
<logic:iterate id="item" property="items">
<pdk-html:multibox property="selectedItems">
<bean:write name="item"/>
</pdk-html:multibox>
<bean:write name="item"/>
</logic:iterate>
Given an ActionForm setup like this
private String[] selectedItems = {};
private String[] items = {"UPS","FedEx","Airborne"};
public String[] getSelectedItems() {
return this.selectedItems;
public void setSelectedItems(String[] selectedItems) {
this.selectedItems = selectedItems;
....... //getters and setters of items//
In the reset method I also reinitialize the selectedItems array like :
selectedItems=new String[]{};
But the value of the multibox is not reflected in the action class. To my surprise, the html code generated by the server is similar to ordinary checkbox which ideally should carry some portlet specific information like pdk-html:text
Same is the case with single checkbox. I have created a boolean variable for the single checkbox in the actionForm class. But same problem frustrates me again. The value is not passed simply.
Can anybody comment. Is this some kind of a bug or may be there is no support for checkbox and multibox in pdkstruts.jar (10.1.2.0.2).
Best regards,
Omer

NLS problems

Hi,
I have installed oracle 9i on windows machine, then apache and php installed on seperate windows machine. Problem is that instead of national characters I get ? marks.
Oracle DB is in WE81SO8859P1 characterset.
(SELECT * FROM V$NLS_PARAMETERS )
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE81SO8859P1
Apache machine is win1257 encoding. If I enter some data from apache macine into DB everythig is OK and I can get national characters. If I use other data from DB instead mational chars are ?
If I put environment variable NLS_LANG = WE81SO8859P1 on apache amchine, I can't connect to oracle at all.
Does anybody help me?
gigic

Problem is that instead of national characters I get ? marks.'?' is one replacement char Oracle uses when proper conversion is not available for your selected combination of character repertoires. (for example retrieving stored multi-byte unicode characters when your client application setup supports only ascii characters)
Or, if you'd like, from 9.2 Documentation; Globalization Support Guide, Glossary:
"replacement character
A character used during character conversion when the source character is not available in the target character set. For example, ? is often used as Oracle's default replacement character."
One guess (since you get a '?') is that your app client side uses ascii codes, told to Oracle via nls settings.
Apache machine is win1257 encoding. If that is for Baltic languages, you may have a "Uh oh!" on your hands...
Besides encoding is different for some characters, several of them does not even exist in 8859-1. Look for letters with caron, ogonek, cedilla, stroke, ...
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1257.mspx
Oracle's char set with Baltic support is called BLT8MSWIN1257 (or BLT8ISO8859P13 or ...) - again, see the Globalization Support Guide in documentation set. http://tahiti.oracle.com/
You should set up a test database and verify that the data you need to store can be converted and stored properly.
If I enter some data from apache macine into DB everythig is OK and
I can get national characters.Really sure? Really, really? National support is a tricky business and without care it can turn in to a ugly character soup.
If I use other data from DB instead mational chars are ?How, what, where?
If I put environment variable NLS_LANG = WE81SO8859P1
on apache amchine, I can't connect to oracle at all.What is the error returned? WE8ISO8859P1 is a valid value, WE81SO8859P1 is not. Remember that WE8ISO8859P1 may not be the correct choice...
Does anybody help me?maybe =)
There is perhaps a more apropriate forum here:

NLS problem

I have :
*Oracle 9i DB using AR8MSWIN1256 Arabic character set , AL16UTF16 for NLS
*Tomcat 4.1.27 as application server
*JDBC for connectivity - Thin Driver
*JDK - SUN 1.4.2 ( Latest )
*Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for JSP development
*UTF-8 for HTML tags ( to see Arabic )
*UTF-8 for JSP encoding
Problem is:
when I insert any Arabic charactes to the database , it is saved like Junk
despite that Arabic charaters are Showing good on the web page and inside fields when entered
I have concerns regarding my JDBC conversion layers despite that I use
UTF-8 for all
Any help
Thank You

the problem is in Tomcat.
It uses J2EE core libraries wich are damaged.
Try to
1) set a correct Regional settings in OS level and relaunch Tomcat
or
2) edit it's sourses
or
3) use Jetty or OC4J.

Starting DB NLS problem

Hi
I had installed Oracle 9iR2.0.4.0 on SuSE 9.0.
When I try to strat up the database from the 'sqlplus'
"$sqlplus /nolg
SQL>conn / as sysdba"
I always get an error saying that I have wrong NLS value with error code "ORA-12705"
Same also from the dbastudio
my NLS_LANG is ARABIC_EGYPT.AR8MSWIN1256
and I had tried these values too
ARABIC_EGYPT.AR8ISO8856P5
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MISO8856P1
it is exported and inserted in the '.bashrc'
We didn't face such problem on 9iR2.0.1 either with RH9 or SuSE 9.0
How we can start the database?

Hi,
Problem starting DB and not able to use sqlplus is two different thing.
Assuming you have right now problem using sqlplus.
Please check if your Environment variable like %PATH, %ORACLE_HOME is properly set. I suppose you have more than 1 oracle installed on that box.

Anurag Tibrewal.

NLS problem with sqlplus

Hi there,
I have a 9i database running on a windows machine, and I am trying to connect from another windows machine using sqlplus. When I try to login I get the error message:
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
I don't really know what it means or what I have to do? is it a problem on the server or on the client?
Can someone help me on this one?
Regards
Johnny

ORA-12705 invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
Cause: There are two possible causes: Either an attempt was made to issue an ALTER SESSION statement with an invalid NLS parameter or value; or the NLS_LANG environment variable contains an invalid language, territory, or character set.
Action: Check the syntax of the ALTER SESSION statement and the NLS parameter, correct the syntax and retry the statement, or specify correct values in the NLS_LANG environment variable. For more information about the syntax of the ALTER SESSION statement, see the Oracle9i SQL Reference
you have to correct that value in NLS_LANG enviroment variable of your OS.
Query NLS_LANG value in your server and put it equal in
your client.

How to solve this problem in PDK-URL

Dear all
I success install PDK-URL in my 9i AS, and i test all the PDK-URL example can run on the server, so i edit the providers.xml to add a new URL. My exist web service URL address is : http://testserver.com/service;userid=6687362346283.ehtml
, But i can not use this URL, because i found that PDK-URL can not contain ';', if the address can not change, how can i use this address in PDK-URL??
Thanks for your help.
Tony

Encoded URL should be used under <pageURL> tag in your provider.xml. Hence you need to replace ";" with "%3b".
Example
http://testserver.com/service%3buserid=6687362346283.ehtml

Rendering Problems using PDK-URL (URL dynamically changes)

Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.2.1
Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8.0
PDK Services for Java version 3.0.9.0.5.
PDK URL Services version 3.0.9.0.4.
Oracle HTTP Server 1.3.19.0.0a
The PDK-URL installed fine and the rendering examples work
(www.google.com, etc). As a POC, I'd like to render our help
desk page on portal tab. For the help desk portlet, I added an
entry in the URL provider.xml with the following url:
<pageUrl>http://intranet.mas.alcoa.com/tiweb/default.asp</pageUrl>
When the portlet is placed on a public help desk tab on the main
portal and the help desk tab is clicked, the address resolved is
http://mas_itport-ws2/servlet/scripts/TrackIt.asp. The
"intranet.mas.alcoa.com" portion of the URL is being
replaced with "mas_itport-ws2/servlet".
Metalink referred me to this discussion forum. Please let me
know if you have any ideas regarding this issue or can advise
where else to get support.
Thank you in advance,

NLS Problem in 9iAS Forms Service

Hi Friends
I'm using :
- Forms Server 6i
- 9iAS Rel 1
- Database 8.1.6 (AR8MSWIN1256)
for a 3 tire application in Farsi. My client is IE 5.5 and
my JVM is Jinitiator 1.1.8.10
The problem is for 4 letters sound g,ch,p and zh in Farsi
I miss contextual analysis for these letters in the java
applet downloaded to client.
I mean the behaviour of these letters in the client is
like English characters not arabic ones.
Please help me
Thanx in advance

I guess you need to enable the Urdu language support in the browser as well.
In IE, Tools-> Internet Options-> General>Languages
