Oc4j and international character sets

Does anyone know if there is a problem in oc4j concerning international charactersets support?
My pages contain non-english characters and so i use utf-8 characterset. When the page is created by a servlet the characters are displayed correctly, but when it comes from a jsp this is not the case.
The problem is that the text is not displayed in utf-8 but in "western european (windows)" instead which is not the correct encoding. This does not happen in the servlet case above. Still if I change the borwser encoding setting
the information is displayed correctly. But I cannot do that for every page, they are to many...
If i try to instruct the page about the encoding the outcome is a real mess because no brwser characterset encoding configuration option seems to be suitable. I tried the following:
- the page directive: <%@page contentType=... pageEncoding...
- the request: request.setContentType
- oc4j configuration: default-charset configuration in the global-application.xml config file
- and the oracle extension <% serwriterEncoding(...) ; %>
all of the above had no result while servlets perform swell !
Am I missing something here?
Does any body knows something that I do not?
Does the jsp container mess with the encoding and sends to the browser incorrect page encoding?
Thank you in advance,
Joe

Use the default parser.
By default, WebLogic Server is configured to use the default parser and transformer to parse and transform XML documents. The default parser and transformer are those included in the JDK 5.0.
The built-in WebLogic Server DOM factory implementation class is com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.
The DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance method returns the built-in parser.

Special Characters international character set viewing

Hi, I'm using iWeb under german language conditions and like to use the special characters of the international character set.If I enter these in iWeb it looks fine. When i publish it the viewing is not done correctly (using a third party web-server, not iCloud). Any suggestions to solve this issue?

You don't have to mention you use a 3 rd party webserver, since you cannot publish to iCloud in the first place.
Anyway, read this :

International Character Set Variable Assignment

I am fairly new to AppleScript, and would appreciate your help. I have an AppleScript that accepts numeric input from a user, e.g.:
display dialog "Please enter a number" default answer foo
if button returned of result is "OK" then
try
set interval to (text returned of result as string) as number
on error
display dialog "Whoops"
end try
This code works fine for EN-US users. However, for users with keyboards set to international character sets, the variable "interval" will not be defined. The problem is that these users are inputting in a character set that AppleScript is not recognizing as numeric, as far as I can tell.
I have been unable to find a solution for these international users, after much searching and trial.
I have tried the following:
- Casting as UTF8, e.g. "as «class utf8»"
- Casting as string, numeric, etc.
I would like to do this within AppleScript if possible (i.e. not use shell script). However, if shell script is necessary (e.g. iconv) that will be OK. Can anyone point me at a solution? Thank you in advance.

Two things... It sometimes helps to decompose complex statements into separate lines; break up the set interval ... line into one step that gets the text and and another that converts it to a number. Also, try using real rather than number. Number is intended as an abstract class, and applescript may be having a problem deciding whether to cast odd unicode to real or integer. A script with both changes looks like so:
set theResult to display dialog "Please enter a number" default answer foo
set interval to (text returned of theResult)
if button returned of theResult is "OK" then
          try
                    set interval to interval as real
          on error
                    display dialog "Whoops"
          end try
end if
Also (just to be sure) in your original script if you press a button other than "Ok" interval is never defined at all, so in your error block you either need to set interval to a default value or add a return command to exit the script.

[urgent] oracle character set and national character set !!(dictionary)

Hi. everyone.
What is the oracle dictionary that contains information of
oracle character set and national character set?
I checked v$database, but there was not the information.
It seems that there are some differences between "nls_* " init parameters
and the database character set.
"Alter database backup controlfile to trace" gave me the character set of db,
but I would like to know whether there are oracle dictionary regarding them.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
Best Regards.

I found the dictionary which contains the information of character set and
natiional character set of database.
select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET';
Thanks for reading.
Have a good day.

Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
Thanks

Hi DBA-One
This link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
There is only one thing about different character sets.
I quote:
Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.

BIG5 and HKSCS Character Set Support

Hi,
We're experiencing some problems inserting a string containing both BIG5 and HKSCS characters to a 7.3.4 Oracle DB using JDBC. The underlying character set used by the DB is ZHT16BIG5 (this cannot be changed). The characters can be inserted correctly if we use SQLPlus/WorkSheet.
Take note that the BIG5 character set can be inserted correctly. The problem occurs if we include HKSCS characters in the statement.
We have tried a number of ways already but failed to convert the data properly.
We tried converting the data using ByteToCharConverter.getConverter("Big5") but this cannot handle the HKSCS properly.
We even tried using the CharacterSet.ZHT16BIG5_CHARSET provided by the NLS character set but it cannot convert all HKSCS characters correctly.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Or is it because the HKSCS character set is NOT supported by the JDBC driver?
Below is a sample text containg both BIG5 and HKSCS characters:
'i$h%49D$G$Q$T89 Ize _ ^ S( R @ A Y q
Any help/suggestion is most welcome.
Thanks,
Cis

USER_FILTER and database character set

Hello,
I'm currently working on the integration of a tool into Oracle Text for filtering PDFs. My current approach is to call a command line tool via a USER_FILTER preference, and this works fine as long as the database character set is AL32UTF8. The tool is creating the filtered text as UTF-8.
I'm struggling now with the case that the database character set is not Unicode, for example LATIN1. I had hoped that I can specify a chain of filters for this situation when creating the index, first a USER_FILTER to get the text out of the document and then a CHARSET_FILTER to convert the filtered text from UTF-8 into the database character set. This is my attempt to set this up:
execute ctx_ddl.create_preference ('my_pdf_datastore', 'file_datastore')
execute ctx_ddl.create_preference ('my_pdf_filter', 'user_filter')
execute ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('my_pdf_filter', 'command', 'tetfilter.bat')
execute ctx_ddl.create_preference('my_cs_filter', 'CHARSET_FILTER');
execute ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_cs_filter', 'charset', 'UTF8');
create index tetindex on pdftable (pdffile) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('datastore my_pdf_datastore filter my_pdf_filter filter my_cs_filter');
These are the error messages I'm getting (sorry, German Windows):
FEHLER in Zeile 1:
ORA-29855: Fehler bei Ausf³hrung der Routine ODCIINDEXCREATE
ORA-20000: Oracle Text-Fehler:
DRG-11004: Doppelter oder unvereinbarer Wert f³r FILTER
ORA-06512: in "CTXSYS.DRUE", Zeile 160
The relevant message is DRG-11004, which translates to "duplicate or incompatible value for FILTER".
ORA-06512: in "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", Zeile 364
So here is my question:
Do I understand it correctly that with the USER_FILTER the text is always expected in the database encoding, and that it is mandatory to create the filtered text in the database character set, or are there any alternatives?
Thanks
Stephan

The previous experiments were performed with Oracle 10i. I just saw that in Oracle 11.1.0.7 there is this new feature: "USER_FILTER is now sensitive to FORMAT and CHARSET columns for better indexing performance.".
This seems to be exactly what I was looking for.
Regards
Stephan

Lanovo ix4 300d and european character set for samba shares

Hi,
I am installing a couple of IX4-300d at a client site, struggling to set and fix the samba character set for the Windows shares. Here in Italy everyone is used to put western european characters into filenames (for example è ò ° €) but the NAS acts wierdly when it finds such caracters in folder names and file names.
As you know samba gives the possibility to declare dos charset= ISO8859-1 and unix charset= ISO8859-1 in the smb.conf file but the option is not present in the IX4 setup pages.
Is there an easy way to circumvent the problem and fix this option? As it is now the machine is fearly useless, at least if you need to migrate files and folder from a server or storage with ISO8859 charset already applied.
thanks a lot

9iLite and multibyte character set support

Does 9iLite support a character set that will allow for accented characters?
for example: i

"NLS Character Integrity Issues for Consolidator
When Mobile Sync synchronizes with an Oracle database which has a
multibyte character set other than UTF8, the character integrity issue
occurs. Mobile Sync retrieves data from the server database through Oracle
8.1.7 OCI JDBC Driver for Oracle9iAS version 1.0.2.2, and 9i for Oracle9iAS
version 2.0. Character sets are converted from database character sets to
UTF8 by Oracle Servers NLS functions. In the code conversion, some
multibyte characters are garbled because of the difference of the character
mapping. This is not a bug of Mobile Sync.

Discoverer 3I and Cyrilic character set

I have a discoverer 3I EUL set up and I'm trying to pull data out that is stored in the database using the cyrilic character set.

US7ASCII and WE8 character set compatibility

Hello,
I want to build two separates environments : one for development, one for production.
I have currently installed OWB 9.2.0.2.8 on a WE8 character set database version 9.2.0.5. This is the development database that contains the design repository, the runtime repository and the targets schemas.
The production database on which I'll run the packages is an US7ASCII database wersion 9.2.0.5. so, again, I will install on it the design repository, the runtime repository and the targets schemas.
My strategy is to export a MDL file for each project, from the development repository and then import it into the production repository. Then, I will change and register the locations and generate/deploy the project to the production target schema.
my questions are :
- Is is possible to import into a US7ASCII database (production) a MDL coming from a WE8 (development) database ?
- Can the generated packages process with some sources tables in an WE8 database even if the target is a US7ASCII table ? if yes, are the french accents still supported ?
Is my stategy correct or must I work with similar character set databases?
Thanks

Hello,
We finally created a new US7ASCII database. Then, we have installed OWB in this database.
OWB version must be greater than 9.2.0.4.
1) from the WE8 repository we export the metadata in US7ASCII characterset to a file
2) from the US7ASCII characterset repository we import the metadata file just created.
==> In the US7ASCII characterset repository , all the characters with accentuation are replaced with others characters. For example é become a "["
==> we created a mapping in the US7ASCII characterset repository. The source is a WE8 characterset table. At execution the accentuation characters are translated to a non accentuation character. For example, the "é" character become an "e"
In conclusion we will not use any accent characters in our repository.

How does OBIEE render international character sets?

Hi.
Our OBIEE Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.5 application running on Linux x86 (64-bit) and a 11.2.0.2.0 database is using the AL32UTF8 Unicode character.
So our database will support languages such as Japanese, Spanish etc.
But how does OBIEE deal with these? How do the webpages know that the content is UTF8 also?
Thanks for any tips -

Regex for international character sets like [a-zA-Z] + �, Ł, �, etc.

Hi all!
Is there an internationalized equivalent for the pattern "[a-zA-Z]+" which would accept the French, German, Polish or other local characters like "Ł" or "�" or "�"?
It's a bad idea to add all of them to the standard regex like "[a-zA-Z��Ł��]+", since you never know what comes next.
I tried to use the "\\p{Alpha}+" to check the string "Łukasz", but the string didn't match. Is there any other possibility other than to exclude "=", ">", "+", "�", etc.?
Thanks for any help!
Lena

My application will get the UTF-8 encoded string and
has to ensure it represents a valid name.There is no such thing as a "utf-8 encoded string." In Java strings are internally encoded in one of the 16-bit tranformation formats but you don't need to know this most of the time.
The code you post works accidentally. It does not work in the general case. Just do what I said in my previous post.
Try this code for instance:System.out.println(Charset.forName("UTF-8").encode(">8<>")
.asCharBuffer().toString().matches("\\p{L}+"));It will print "true" because the resulting charbuffer does match the pattern even though the original string does not. To understand why this happens I recommend reading the API documentation of the relevant classes.
