Runtime and charset

Question

Hello,
Technical info: Windows 2000, IIS5, Tomcat 4.1.24, JDK 1.4.1, (.net)
I wrote the following java code:
Process p = null;
Runtime r = null;
try
//Ex�cution du batch de transformation
r = Runtime.getRuntime();
p = r.exec("NEAT_converting.exe");
//Attente de la fin du process
p.waitFor();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error executing the converter : " + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
throw new IOException();
finally
p.destroy();
r.gc();
As you can see, I run a executable from my Java code. The java code is in a bean run from a JSP.
If I connect to an Oracle DB from the bean, I can get the data with the french accent. When I try from the exe (.net sorry!) to get the same data, I have the wrong charset!
I think that the exe run under an other User than the bean.
Can anyone tell me:
- When I run a cmd from java, can I choose the charset?
- What is the user used by the exe?
- Any other idea..
Thanks a lot. Hope I was clear enough ;-)

Answer 1

- When I run a cmd from java, can I choose the
charset?That entirely depends on the application you are executing and how it chooses the charset it uses.
- What is the user used by the exe?Probably the same user that ran your program -- anything else could be a security exposure. Why would that make a difference?
- Any other idea..Basically you are asking why your other application doesn't work the way you want. And based on what that other application is, I don't think this is really the right forum for that.
