Problem with national diactric chars.

Hi everybody,
After upgrading APEX to 3.2 release (on XE) I lost Polish diactric characters in my applications. They all were replaced by plain letters (without tails, dots and so on...). When I try to put some Polish characters to my application they are constantly replaced by plain ones. Do I have to change a code page or language? Where should I look for these settings?
Jacek.

How to send Oracle rowid to servlet? | Problem with national characters.

There is same possibility how to send rowid to servlet?
I have now definition like this:
<af:image source="/imageservlet?Par1=#{bindings.Col1.inputValue}"/>
But If column contents national characters, servlet methods obtained changed these characters.
My idea is to use not primary key for row, but use oracle rowid. It is simply possible?
Use something like this:
<af:image source="/imageservlet?Rowid=#{bindings.Rowid}"/
Or Do you have ideas how to solve problem with national characters ?
Thanks

Hi,
Although your workaround works.
I think this is a simple encoding problem.
I simply need to make sure all parameters and pages are encoded with a char set which contains the national characters you mentioned.
This is a bit dependent on the exact technology your using, but most can be done via the web.xml:
<jsp-config>
      <jsp-property-group>
          <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
          <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
      </jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>     This forces all JSP pages to be encoded in UTF-8
Adding the following parameter sometimes helps as well, although I think this one is a bit dated:
You said your using a servlet so your servlet needs a similar block for its pattern
<context-param>
    <param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name>
    <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</context-param>If you want to be 100% sure the encoding is set right make sure thepages contain:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>Or depending on your view technology the syntax can be a bit different

Problem with national characters on windows client

Hello there,
I'am having problem with national characters on windows client.
All national data stored in NVARCHAR2 colums, applications (.net) works fine,
but in sqlplus:
select city from test_table;
- everything ok, sqlplus shows national characters
select dump(N'<national symbols>') from dual
- returns
Typ=96 Len=12: 0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191
select * from test_table where city = N'<national symbols> '
- always returns nothing
As i understand the problem in
sql query text (and national literals) convertion
to servers "WE8ISO8859P1" encoding, Is it possible
to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance
PS.
Console in right mode (chcp=1251)
sqlplus shows russian messages well

N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.

Problem with national language after patching

I have BEx Analyser based on Excel 2007. After patching with 801 (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Package BI Frontend Add-on 7.x SP's for SAP GUI 7.10) got problem with national symbols input.
Please any ideas...
Thanks,

It's best to post this in a SQL Server forum. ConfigMgr is simply a delivery mechanism for the patch and really has nothing to do with what the patch actually does.

Having problems with National Lottery website. Any idea why?

Tried to get onto National Lottery website today and message saying website not responding. Checked with friends and they are saying all ok for them. Rang Lottery HQ and they said no problems with their website. Advised me to delete all history and cookies and download Internet Explorer. Is there any reason why I should no be able to use Firefox?

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

[SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL

Hello,
I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.

I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
But there exists other tools also.
I can help you with halevt if you choose that way...

An example of data in g_record:

When I open the resulting file in notepad the above data is present, and that's a good thing! The bad thing is that for every entry I have in the g_record table the GUI_DOWNLOAD puts 8000 characters into the file (the data from g_record and trailing blanks so that the line becomes 8000 chars long). I dont want the trailing blanks and TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS dont seem to work. Have any of you had hte same problem and/or is there a solution?!
I have tried using filetype ASC and here I dont get the trailing blanks, but another problem hits me. I cant download more that 1024 characters from each entry in g_record and thats not good enough!

255 is the maximum output lengh for CHAR variables in the Old Debugger. So it is normal that you don't see the end of the string in the Old Debugger.
If you have a newer R/3-Release you can use the New Debugger and choose the output format "Tabular". In this display format, the contents are portioned into 50 characters each and thus you'll see the complete string. In older R/3-Releases, where the New Debugger is not yet available, you will have to input manually offsets in the debugger to see the complete string.

Problem with Non English Chars

OS : Mac OS
Java : 1.5.0_07
Hi,
i have an Swing application that reads data from a database and shows them in a swing GUI. The text returned by the database is in Arabic and saved in a TextField object.
But once printed, the arabic chars are screwed up.or actually they r not arabic chars at all!!
For debugging i also write the result of the query in the console and in a log4j log file.
There, it is printed in the right form.
here the code:
System.out.println("D3"+java.nio.charset.Charset.defaultCharset().name());
System.out.println("singular "+dit.getData().getSingular());
log4j,debug("singular "+dit.getData().getSingular());
Font font = Font.decode("Geeza Pro");
textl.setFont(font);
textl.setText(dit.getData().getSingular());
The output in the console is (and log4j) :
D3MacRoman
singular صوف
The output in the Swing Textfield is
��
If i configure log4j to use UTF8 ,then even into log4j log file the same screwed
chars are written.
Looks like i've to tell Swing to use MacRoman, which is the default of the OS and
the used by the console&log4j. but i don't know how to.
Any clue??
Thanks,
Chris.

Problem with national fonts after migration 9i- 10g

I'm after migration from Developer Suite 9i to 10g. I see that all Polish characters are replaced with '?'. This problem is only in 10g Designer (before migration all were OK).
I've tried setting NATLNG to POLISH_POLAND.EE8MSWIN1250 in Forms Generator. In Windows registry is POLISH_POLAND.EE8MSWIN1250 (setting by DS10g setup).
I've tried fonts via Options->Color/Font/Style - I see change on Display view but '?' are still after saving changes and generating form.

Thanks knordstrand.
Problem's resolved yet. You're right - wrong charset on bd.

Problem with reading special char from file

Hello Oracle community,
Got a problem when reading from a file. I am using a croatian keyboard and trying to read special charachters (ČĆŽŠĐ) from a file.
declare
l_file utl_file.file_type;
s varchar2(200);
begin
l_file := utl_file.fopen('test_dir', 'test.txt', 'R');
loop
    utl_file.get_line(l_file, s);
    dbms_output.put_line(s);
end loop;
exception
when no_data_found then
    utl_file.fclose(l_file);
end;But I keep getting this in dbms_output: ČĆĐ. For some reason it keeps skipping 2 chars Š and Ž. If I try to insert or update data the values are show correctly. What could be the cause of such a problem?
Best regards,

Problem with national characters calling System.out.print(...)

I need to develop an application printing spanish characters like "�" (ce trencada) "�", "�", etc.
The problem is when I type
System.out.print("�")in my application, I get "plus-minus" symbol while executing it.
Anyone can help me, please?
Thank you in advance.

check the list of fonts available. You can use the following code for the purpose.
public static void main(String args[])
        String fonts[] = getFontNames();
        for(int i = 0; i < fonts.length; i++)
            System.out.println(fonts);
public static String[] getFontNames()
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
return ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();

Problems with PDF report

I need to know, how to include all the font file inside to PDF file generated by Oracle Report Server.I have problems with national code page, therefore I need the font stored inside PDF file. If exist some property or command which solve this problem, please tell me about it. Thanx for answers.

I think the official answer is "wait for
9ias" or thereabouts. Reports 6i does not
insert fonts or, per a reply yesterday,
support multibyte character sets in general.
(I've manually done both to support Unicode
Cyrillic, but it took a lot of work and I
considered it "proof of concept" and
certainly not useful for production. So, it
can be done, but you don't want to...)
