Problems with using special characters in Interactive Report Search

Hi!
I am currently developing an Application on Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 including a page with an Interactive Report, facing the problem that I cannot use special german characters in the Searchbar.
So if i try to find a name like 'Schröder' the created Filter looks like this 'SchrÃ¶der' and i won't get any valid search results. By the way the rest of the application supports these special characters like using them in Buttons or any other Page elements.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this problem, because it's driving me nuts ;)
Thanks in advance
Philipp

Does noybody have a clue how to solve this problem. I tried to find out where the Problem occures. The Ajax Request looks like this
f01     contains
f01     SchrÃ¶der
f01     15
p_flow_id     100
p_flow_step_id     50
p_instance     3176950818119673
p_request     APXWGT
p_widget_action     QUICK_FILTER
p_widget_action_mod     ADD
p_widget_mod     ACTION
p_widget_name     worksheet
p_widget_num_return     15
x01     14175446766823030
x02     14176526259823035
So I guess it has to be inside the Javascript file (apex_ns_3_1.js). I hope someone can help me.

Problem with Icelandic special characters on Mac

Hello
I am working on a Flash publication for students, and I want it to run on Mac as well as PC. Everything goes fine, except a problem with three special characters in my language, Icelandic. I am working on a registration and login page where I am using text boxes and text input boxes. Everything looks correct on PC, but on Mac the characters Þ Ð Ý are lost.
I have tried different fonts etc.
Any idea what is wrong?
Jónas Helgason

Hello Jónas,
Did you ever figure this out ?
I have a similar problem except only with two letters (both upper and lower case). These two Icelandic letters can't be entered into a Flex TextInput box in the Flex apps I am creating when they are loaded on a Mac. The letters are known as &Eth, &eth, &Thorn and &thorn in HTML terminology. Typing these characters on the keyboard results in the following: { [ ? /
However I can copy the characters in question from some other app like TextEdit and paste them into a TextInput box in my Flex app and all is well, they show up correctly.
This happens regardless of the Mac browser used and the Flash plugin version used (have tried both 9 and 10) and also happens in the standalone Flash Player application.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or is this a bug in Flash Player ? This is really annoying as it makes text input into Flex apps on Icelandic Macs very difficult.
There must be something wrong with the mapping of keyboard key codes into character codes on the Mac that is causing this.
Btw, I just heard from a friend that this problem does not exist in MacOS 10.6. I am running 10.4 and have tested this on 10.5 and it exists on both of those OS versions.

Problems with Page Break in an Interactive Reporting report

Hello everybody,
Platform: Hyperion System 9.3.1.
I have serious problems in managing the 'page break' in an Interactive Reporting report.
The report shows sales data by store, with article and colour details and it is organized like this:
group 1: geographic area
group 2: country
group 3: city
group 4: store
columns: article, colour
facts: quantity, price, value
My client's request is to perform a page break at the store group level, meaning that apart from the first store occurance, any change in the store value shoul start a new page.
The requested result is like this:
page1: geographic area1
country1
city1
store1
data store1...
page 2: store2
data store2...
page3: store3
data store3...
I tried several combinations of using Break After and Break Before on the store group, with Keep Next / Keep Together and it was impossible to obtain the desired result.
If I use Break Before the result is as follows:
page 1: geographic area1
country1
city1
page 2: store1
data store1...
page 3: store2
data store2...
If I use Break After the result is as follows:
page 1: geographic area1
country1
city1
store 1
page 2: data store1...
store 2
page 3: data store2...
even if I specify 'Keep with next' or 'Keep together' for store group and the store data table.
Any help will be very very appreciated because I've been trying for weeks to figure out this issue.
Daniela

First start without using any of the Keep with Next and Keep together.
Second. try putting the Page Break in the Group Footer. You do not need to keep it visible
Then you may want to repeat headers on Store in case the Store's Detail rolls onto next page
Hope this helps

Problems with Turkish special characters

Hello!
We are producing Oracle Help with WebWorks Publisher 2003 Professional for FrameMaker. There are some problems with the Turkish version of our online help: The Turkish special characters (for example the dotless i) aren´t displayed correctly in the navigation panes TOC and index. They are replaced by other characters (for example by a "y")
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Miriam Rassenhofer

Miriam,
What encoding are the TOC and index XML files being generated in? You should use UTF-8 for the minimum of problems. I presume WebWorks has an option for this. Other than that, make sure the top of those XML files has the proper XML declaration with the encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>You may want to try opening the XML files in an XML-aware text editor to ensure they look right there (JDeveloper is one such editor).
If all of that is working, post back and we can talk offline about getting a snippet of one of those XML files for us to look at.

Problem with german special characters in APEX

Hi,
we have a problem with all the special characters in german language in our Application.
APEX version 3.1.0.00.32 is installed on a oracle database 9.2.0.6.0
The nls_characterset of the database is: American_America.WE8ISO8859P1
We have modified the wdbsvr.app file on our HTTP-Server like it's shown in the installationguide for APEX and have set the nls_lang parameter to American_America.AL32UTF8.
If I look at the source code of the html-pages of our application, there are already the following settings in the header of every page:
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
With this settings all the german special characters like ä ö ü are not shown correctly in the browser.
What can I do that the pages are shown correctly?
Thanks for help!

Hi Petra,
ok, so my guess was correct. So the solution is to set the charset attribute in the HTML header to "charset=UTF-8". This is actually the way it should be. But I'm wondering why it is not in your case? Are you using a custom template for the page(s) in question where the charset attribute is set to a custom value? The meta tags in the HTML header are usually set by/through the #HEAD# substitution string in the header definition section of the page template, cp. one of the page templates in Shared Components --> Templates. And as far as I know you are not able to change this substitution string, you can only switch the inclusion on/off with the option "Include Standard CSS and JavaScript" in each page definition. (I might be mistaken, though, I'm quite new to APEX...)

Problems with transforming special characters

Hi,
I develop a small educational application ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/pauker/ ). I work with JDK-1.4.0 on Mandrake Linux 8.2. At first I used serialized objects to save the lessons to a file. This worked well until I wanted to change some public members of the involved classes. That's why I switched over to the new and shiny XML. Now I have a different problem!
Pauker saves its lessons in gziped XML files. Users from all over the world can create lessons containing very different characters. There are European characters like �� and asian characters. Loading this lessons on a system with a different encoding works fine. Saving such a lesson on a system with a different encoding can destroy the lesson.
Example:
On a german system a user creates a lesson with the letter � on a card side and saves it. A different user working on an english system loads this lesson. The character "�" is displayed correctly. The english user saves the lesson. The character "�" will be replaced by a question mark in the xml file. Next time the english user loads the lesson she will not see "�" but "?" on the display.
Here is a little example program that does the transformation in exactly the way Pauker does. Please test it out.
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
public class XMLTest {
public XMLTest() {
try {
// create document
DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = documentBuilder.newDocument();
// fill document
Element element = document.createElement("Element");
document.appendChild(element);
element.appendChild(document.createTextNode("��"));
// transform to XML
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
//transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(outputStream);
transformer.transform(source, result);
System.out.println("original: ��");
System.out.println(outputStream.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println();
public static void main(String[] args) {
new XMLTest();
So what do I have to do to fix this problem? I have a lot of new features waiting in the CVS but this bug is still open and discussed. I dont want to release a new version with such a gaping hole in it...
Thanks a lot!
If you prefer to reply peronally, please use Ronny.Standtke at gmx.de

I don't see how you can say that there's a problem with saving your XML files when the code you post doesn't actually save it to a file. Your transform is being written to a ByteArrayOutputStream, which isn't used except for this statement which I assume is for debugging:System.out.println(outputStream.toString());Of course that is useless for debugging the problem you describe, for two reasons:
1. the toString() method uses your system's default encoding, which may be ISO-8859-1 but is definitely not UTF-8. You could write toString("UTF-8") but that is a waste of time because:
2. You use System.out.println() to examine the data, which writes it to a console that also probably does not use UTF-8. I don't know what encoding it does use, but UTF-8 is unlikely.
So, save your files using the UTF-8 encoding as robadmin suggested. And to test the result, make sure you use a tool that understands the UTF-8 encoding.

Mysql problem with german special characters

hi,
I wrote a software and it worked quite good, but after I installed it on a new machine with j2se 1.4 I've problems with the german special characters.
this code works good on the old machine (jdk 1.3.1) and prints the wanted characters like �,�,�.
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
java.sql.Connection conn;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb?user=testuser&password=xxxx");
Statement s = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet r = s.executeQuery("select something from testtb where id='1'");
r.first();
System.out.println( r.getString(1) );
but on the new machine (j2se 1.4) I only receive the character ?.
I updated my org.gjt.mm.mysql to the current MySQL Connector/J 3.0.9 and added
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb?user=testuser&password=xxxx&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=ISO-8859-1");
but I've got still the same problem.
Thanks in advance

Problem with norwegian 'special characters' (æøå) in LaTeX

Having installed just about every latex-package in the repos I still cant get this to work. This is what I have in my .tex file:
\documentclass[12pt,norsk,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[norsk]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
Testing æøå - ÆØÅ
\end{document}
Any suggestions?

What characters are you trying to put into math mode?
Generally, with regular LaTeX, you can't put special characters in math mode. You need to use the LaTeX symbol commands instead. For example, use \rightarrow and not →. The only exception would be if you were using XeLaTeX rather than regular (pdf)LaTeX, which generally has better Unicode support, especially if you had loaded the unicode-math packge: but that's still considered in beta status, I believe.
You can also escape to text mode inside math with the \text command from the amsmath package, e.g., $\text{ÆØÅ}$ should work.

Problems with german special characters on DOC export.

Hello,
I have a problem when I export a pdf to doc via the adobe cloud feature. Everything works fine except for the special german characters. And since I want to use this tool to convert my latex pdf to word to use the spellchecker for me the entire system is broken. Do I need to change to a special encoding of my textfiles for this to work? Can you fix this somehow?
Cheers
nenTi

I use Arial as font generated by MiKTex. So I doubt it's a font problem. Also it detects all other characters without a problem, only the german special chars äöüÄÖÜß are a problem for the system.
Try it yourself:
"Hier ist mein scheiß überfordertes konvertierungs script und rödel vor sich hin ohne ännähernd befriedigendes Ergebniß."
You won't have the special chars editable in the doc. It is visible but you can't edit it because it is converted to something strange.

Af:inputFile problems with enconding, special characters

Hi all,
searched around the web and in these forum, found this topic:
af:inputFile encoding file name is not known
As the author I'm getting the same issue with characters like âáàíí and all things like that
in my language(Brazilian).
Instantly after I choose a file the name goes with a � in the place of these chars I mentioned before.
I changed everything to UTF-8 like my template and jspx file:
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
I also changed my web.xml header:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
And everything in Jdeveloper is set to UTF-8 like IDE and compiler preferences.
Added this lines to weblogic.xml too:
<charset-params>
<input-charset>
<resource-path>/*</resource-path>
<java-charset-name>UTF-8</java-charset-name>
</input-charset>
</charset-params>
Everything seens to not work :(
Using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.3 / Windows XP SP3 Portuguese
Developing with ADF/EJB3/JPA
Regards,
Renan.

Please check that the compiled pages are UTF-8 encoded. Open the project properties, select 'Compiler' and check the 'Character Encoding*' is set to UTF-8. Next select the 'JSP' node under 'Compiler' and check the encoding there.

Problems with using view in a WAD report

Dear experts,
I have created a WAD templete for accounts recievables. It is based on a query which shows a graph of top 5 customers and a table which shows the total recievables. Both the graph and the table are based on the same query. While the graph is based on the query, the table is based on a particular view of that query. While the graph shows the correct result for any period, the view was showing a wrong value. I just saved the view again and it started showing correct result. I would like to know if the view takes the date of its creation as a key date. Do i need to remove the view and create a query to show total recievables? Or is there anything other than this I might be doing worng? Please guide. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sumit

Sumit,
Try running the view directly in BEx Analyzer. Are the results in line with the web?
Try calling teh web report with the variable screen and check the date value being used.

Problem with reading special characters in unix

Hi,
Iam trying to read the data from a file by the following code
FileInputStream inputFile = new FileInputStream(xx);
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputFile);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
String s= bufferedReader.readLine();
one of the line in file has the character �
It working fine on windows, but on unix Iam getting it as ��.
I tried with InputStreamReader contructor which accepts the charset name also, like by giving Cp1252, and latin1 etc, but iam not able to get around this problem.
Any Ideas Please?

��This suggests to me that your input file is encoded in UTF-8. But that's only a guess, you need to find out for sure. Asking the person who produced the file would be the most reliable way. When you do find out, specify that encoding as the second parameter of the InputStreamReader constructor.

### Problem in retrieving special characters with Oracle 9i JDBC drivers

hi,
We are having some problem with retrieving special characters like '�' from the database.
Our application is using JDK1.3.1 with Oracle 9i at the back end(Version: 9.0.1.0.0). We are using oracle 9i thin drivers (classes12.zip) for database interaction.
To relieve the data from database we are using PreparedStatement in two ways
1. Creating a preparedstatement from connection object without any parameters and then retrieve the
data using it. This gives the results in correct format i.e. special characters like '�'
2. Create the preparedstatement by passing the following parameters.
i) ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE
ii) ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
In this case we are not able to retrieve the special character like '�' correctly. Instead the ResultSet
returns 'h'
I think this is the problem with Oracle drivers. Does anyone have any information about the mentioned problem.
rgds

I don't know exactly (because I am using JDK 1.4 with ojdbc14.jar where these problems seem to be rare...) but you may consider this:
1. Add nls_charset12.zip to your classpath to ensure that the encoders are present (may or may not help)
2. Swith to JDK 1.4, and do this:
Instead of String s = getString(column)
use
byte[] bytes = getBytes(column);
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes); // in package java.nio
CharBuffer cb = Charset.forname("ISO-8859-x").decode(bb);
String s = cb.toString();
The latter method allows you to perform the encoding/decoding manually.
3. Change the character encoding in the database to unicode upon database setup.
4. Try playing with NLS parameters (alter session ...)
