Special Unicode characters in RSS XML

Hi,
I'm using an adapted version of Husnu Sensoy's solution (http://husnusensoy.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/o-rss-11010-on-sourceforgenet/ - thanks, Husnu) to consume RSS feeds in an Apex app.
It works a treat, except in cases where the source feeds contain special unicode characters such as [right double quotation mark - 0x92 0x2019] (thankyou, http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml)
These cases fail with
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00217: invalid character 8217 (U+2019) Error at line 19
Any ideas on how to translate these characters, or replace them with something innocuous (UNISTR?), so that the XML transformation succeeds?
Many thanks,
jd

Scanning files for non-unicode characters.

Question: I have a web application that allows users to take data, enter it into a webapp, and generate an xml file on the servers filesystem containing the entered data. The code to this application cannot be altered (outside vendor). I have a second webapp, written by yours truly, that has to parse through these xml files to build a dataset used elsewhere.
Unfortunately I'm having a serious problem. Many of the web applications users are apparently cutting and pasting their information from other sources (frequently MS Word) and in the process are embedding non-unicode characters in the XML files. When my application attempts to open these files (using DocumentBuilder), I get a SAXParseException "Document root element is missing".
I'm sure others have run into this sort of thing, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to tackle this problem. Obviously I'm going to have to start pre-scanning the files for invalid characters, but finding an efficient method for doing so has proven to be a challenge. I can load the file into a String array and search it character per character, but that is both extremely slow (we're talking thousands of LONG XML files), and would require that I predefine the invalid characters (so anything new would slip through).
I'm hoping there's a faster, easier way to do this that I'm just not familiar with or have found elsewhere.

require that I predefine the invalid charactersThis isn't hard to do and it isn't subject to change. The XML recommendation tells you here exactly what characters are valid in XML documents.
However if your problems extend to the sort of case where users paste code including the "&" character into a text node without escaping it properly, or they drop in MS Word "smart quotes" in the incorrect encoding, then I think you'll just have to face up to the fact that allowing naive users to generate uncontrolled wannabe-XML documents is not really a viable idea.

Unicode characters appear as (boxes) in AIR for IOS

I am developing an application for iPhone and it has an input Text box. (Placed on stage from flash CS6). In the Desktop emulator everything works fine. But, on the actual phone, everything I type appears as . But surprisingly, when I am inputting the text, (i.e. the textbox is in edit mode) the characters are displayed correctly. But as soon as I leave the box it appears as . Is there someway I can display the text the same way it is displayed during the edit mode?
I am trying to input Devanagari देवनागरी characters.
P.S. I did some research on this and found that, if I specify the font for the textbox = "DevanagariSangamMN" then there is some improvement.
I say improvement becasue althought the boxes are replaced by actual characters , they aren't correctly formated.
For e.g. during edit mode the text appears as this: कार्यकर्ता
But as soon as I leave the textbox it appears as this: कार्यकर्ता (I typed this here by adding special unicode characters ZWNJ so that characters won't join)
Anyway, I don't like the idea of having to specify font names? What If some user would like to input chinese, how would I know what chinese font to use?
Isn't there some way to let IOS handle things, (just like how it handles things when I am inputing text).
Thanks.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

SAP special german characters(umlaut) like ü, ö, ä not displayed properly in XML output

Hello Team,
Here we are facing issues while converting SAP tables data to XML file.
the description is not converting properly for the special German characters like ü, ö, ä.
Actual output should be :Überprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
Output Displayed :Ã#berprÃ¼fung nach Â§ 29 STVZO
Can you please look into and help me in this to get correct output .
Thank you.

Hi,
Unicode or Non-Unincode System ?
Displayed where ? SAPGUI ? Print Preview ? Spool-Display ?
And how is the XML file written ? OPEN DATASET ? BAPI ?
At all of these stages it might be either that it is only a display system, like the selected display CHARSET in SAPGUI, when it is a non-unicode system, or simply not coded correctly like OPEN DATASET without specifying the cdepage when necessary.
And it might even be, that even "displaying" the XML File is simply done with the incorrect codepage while the data inside the file is correct.
If you are on Windows, you might even face funny results when saving a simple textfile from notepad with ANSI/DOS and both Unicode variants and then go to CMD.EXE ans simply "type" the content.
All 4 results will be different, allthough notepad will display the same stuff.
So first of all, makes sure which codepage is relevant at all stages from DB-table to "display"
- DB-Charset
- SAP system type (unicode/non-unicode)
- SAP codepage (1100 / 410x )
- crosscheck the test from report RSCPINST
- Codepage on Windows running SAPGUI
- Selected codpage for Sapgui
Good hunting

Query regarding Handling Unicode characters in XML

All,
My application reads a flat file in series of bytes, I
create a XMl document out of the data. The data contains Unicode characters.
I use a XSLT to create XML file. While creating it I don't face any issues
but later if I try to parse the constructed XMl file, i get a sax parsing exception
(Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Character reference _"<not visible clearly in Browser>"_ is an invalid XML character.)
Can some one advice on how to tackle this.
regards,
D
Edited by: user9165249 on 07-Jan-2011 08:10

How to tackle it? Don't allow your transformation to produce characters which are invalid in XML. The XML Recommendation specifies what characters are allowed and what characters aren't, in section 2.2: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets. The invalid characters can't come from the XML which you are transforming so they must be coming from code in your transformation.
And if you can't tell what the invalid characters are by using your browser, then send the result of the transformation to a file and use a hex editor to examine it.
By the way, this isn't a question about Unicode characters in XML, since all characters in Java are Unicode and XML is defined in terms of Unicode. So saying that your data contains Unicode characters is a tautology. It couldn't do anything else. If your personal definition of Unicode is "weird stuff that I don't understand" then do yourself a favour, take a couple of days out and learn what Unicode is.

Embedding Unicode Characters

Dear List
I am at a loss with flash fonts embedding once again.   I am using Flex 3 for coding and the Flash 4 IDE for font and assets management.
I used the following steps to include the fonts:
CS4 IDE:
1) Library : New Font 'HelveticaNeueRegular' mapped to Helvetica Neue Regular
2) Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1 enabled
3) Class Name: HelveticaNeueRegular
4) Base Class: flash.text.font
5) Publish file as swc
Flex:
6) Include the swc file in the project.
7) Code: Font.registerFont(HelveticaNeueRegular);
External XML:
8) Use an external xml file for all dynamic text. Define css classes with the span tag
External CSS:
9) Define the styles like this:
.articleText{
    font-family:"Helvetica Neue";
    font-size:15;
    color:#000000;
The Problem:
Now the above works fine, but when I try to display special characters such as superscripts or Caron accents they don't show up.
What I've tried:
I've tried to put an additional textfield with the additional characters (ie: ²Žž) to embed on the stage in the CS4 IDE as well as in the library as a separate symbol with the export in 1st frame enabled. In both cases I included the characters with the text property option 'Character Embedding' > 'Include these Characters' and I also put the characters in the textfield itself. I used both the real name of the font as well as the Libaray Font name (ie: HelveticaNeueRegular*)
No luck
Any suggestions on how to get these special unicode character outlines to display?
Thank you all
Regards
sk

Thank you again. I remember having a hard time finding a suiteable and working solution to embed the outlines for xml / html text / external css. Somehow all other solutions had some sort of drawback or plainly didn't work. Since I do have the CS4 IDE I would imagine that above solution should work. In the past putting a dynamic text field on the stage and embedding additional characters through the property window would work.
Not sure what to do now...
I guess I can try again to embed the fonts by linking it directly to the font in the Flex IDE and then specify the unicode fonts there. I will give it a shot. If someone knows of a way of making this work in CS4 > export to .swc for Flex (as3 project) please let me know.
Much thanks to everyone.

How do I get unicode characters out of an oracle.xdb.XMLType in Java?

The subject says it all. Something that should be simple and error free. Here's the code...
String xml = new String("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<x>\u2026</x>\n");
XMLType xmlType = new XMLType(conn, xml);
conn is an oci8 connection.
How do I get the original string back out of xmlType? I've tried xmlType.getClobVal() and xmlType.getString() but these change my \u2026 to 191 (question mark). I've tried xmlType.getBlobVal(CharacterSet.UNICODE_2_CHARSET).getBytes() (and substituted CharacterSet.UNICODE_2_CHARSET with a number of different CharacterSet values), but while the unicode characters are encoded correctly the blob returned has two bytes cut off the end for every unicode character contained in the original string.
I just need one method that actually works.
I'm using Oracle release 11.1.0.7.0. I'd mention NLS_LANG and file.encoding, but I'm setting the PrintStream I'm using for output explicitly to UTF-8 so these shouldn't, I think, have any bearing on the question.
Thanks for your time.
Stryder, aka Ralph

I created analogic test case, and executed it with DB 11.1.0.7 (Linux x86), which seems to work fine.
Please refer to the execution procedure below:
* I used AL32UTF8 database.
1. Create simple test case by executing the following SQL script from SQL*Plus:
connect / as sysdba
create user testxml identified by testxml;
grant connect, resource to testxml;
connect testxml/testxml
create table testtab (xml xmltype) ;
insert into testtab values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'||chr(10)||'<x>'||unistr('\2026')||'</x>'||chr(10)));
-- chr(10) is a linefeed code.
commit;
2. Create QueryXMLType.java as follows:
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.xdb.XMLType;
import java.util.*;
public class QueryXMLType
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception, SQLException
          DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
          OracleConnection conn = (OracleConnection) DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@localhost:1521:orcl", "testxml", "testxml");
          OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement("select xml from testtab");
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
          OracleResultSet orset = (OracleResultSet) rs;
          while (rs.next())
               XMLType xml = XMLType.createXML(orset.getOPAQUE(1));
               System.out.println(xml.getStringVal());
          rs.close();
          stmt.close();
3. Compile QueryXMLType.java and execute QueryXMLType.class as follows:
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export CLASSPATH=.:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc5.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/orai18n.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
javac QueryXMLType.java
java QueryXMLType
-> Then you will see U+2026 character (horizontal ellipsis) is properly output.

Insert Unicode Characters Into Oracle 8.1.5

Hello,
First off, here are the specs:
Oracle 8.1.5
JDK 1.2.1
Oracle8i 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC Drivers for use with JDK 1.2.x for Solaris
I'm running into a problem with insert Unicode characters into Oracle via the JDBC driver. As you can see above, I am using the Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC driver because it is the first driver with supports the JDK 1.2.x. So I think I should be okay.
I can retrieve data with special characters from Oracle by calling the getBytes() method from the ResultSet with all special characters being intact. I am using getBytes because calling getString() would throw the following exception: "java.sql.SQLException(): Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv". However, with that value that I just retrieved, or any other data with special characters (unicode) in which I try to insert into Oracle does not get converted properly.
What appears to be happening is that data with special characters (unicode), are not being treated as a single double byte character, but rather two single byte characters. Thus, R|ckschlagventil becomes RC<ckschlagventil once it is inserted. (Hopefully, my example will be rendered properly).
According to all documentation that I have found, the JDBC driver should not have any problem with converting UCS2 Java Strings to Oracle's UTF8 character set.
I have set Oracle's NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to UTF8. I am also setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Perhaps there is some other environment setting in which I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated,
Christian

Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

Hi all,
I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
Thanks.
Florian

Hi!
No, it's not a Unicode system.
It is maintained as:
Tar. Lang. Lang. Output Format Dev. type
Format
PDF EN English PDF1
Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
Thanks,
Florian

FOI Servlet non-unicode characters cannot be processed

Hello,
I'm using Oracle MapViewer 10.1.3.1 quickstart kit to test some map features
my database is in CL8MSWIN1251 charset
I made a simple map application to display some data using JavaScript API
when I define a theme based FOI layer in the map and the predefined theme has some non-Unicode characters in the labeling or in hidden info fields I get the folowing error:
Cannot process the following response from FOI server:
{"foiarray":[{"id":"AAARiqAAEAAAzFgAAA","name":"\u422\u414","gtype":"2001","imgurl":"http://localhost:8888/mapviewer/images/foi/p_16_13_MVDEMO_M.IMAGE131_BW.png","x":"50.0","y":"50.0","width":"16","height":"13","attrs":["987654321","100"]}],"attrnames":["BBB","Osn"]}
As you can see "\u422\u414" shoud be "\u0422\u0414" otherwise JavaScript cannot display characters in the right way. I think FOIServlet is the problem here.
Anyone has the same problems or has a solution for this problem pls

Displaying unicode characters

Dear all,
I am currently dealing with a character displaying problem on the MAM.
We will soon go live in China. Until now we only had European countries, with a Latin alphabet.
Now however this changes, so we need to use Unicode to display all characters correctly.
Therefor I have converted all our custom language files to language files with Unicode escape characters.
e.g.:
EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=设备材料号码
Now the strange thing is that when we login in Chinese, everything is displayed correctly, but when we login in German or Polish (countries which also have some special characters), we don't see everything displayed correctly.
This is the code how we display an entry from the language file on the screen:
<%@page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text-html; charset=UTF-8"
<jsp:useBean id="res" class="com.sap.ip.me.api.services.MEResourceBundle" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<%=PageUtil.ConvertISO8859toUTF8(res.getString("CONFIRMATIONS_HEADER_DETAIL"))%>
For Chinese language, the characters are displayed correctly in this way.
e.g.: 最后一次同步时间
However Polish characters and German characters are not (always) displayed correctly.
e.g.: WskaÅºnik pierwszego usuniÄu2122cia usterki
The only 'difference' that I can see is that for China, every character in the language file has a special Unicode notation, while for Polish and German characters, only the special characters are displayed in special Unicode notation.
e.g.:
EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=Numer materia\u00c5‚u sprz\u00c4™tu
FYI, I've converted the files to Unicode escape characters with the java util native2ascii.exe.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve this issue?
Thanks already in advance!
Best regards,
Diederik
Edited by: Diederik Van Wassenhove on Jul 6, 2009 2:34 PM

Dear all,
I've found the reason for this problem.
Thanks anyway for your time!
The problem was that when converting the language files to Unicode escape characters, the source format was wrong. The files where saved as UTF-8, but the JAVA tool native2ascii is not taking UTF-8 as standard input format. So the resulting Unicode file was not containing the correct Unicode characters.
I've re-generated the language files with the parameter -encoding UTF-8, and now everything is displayed correctly!
Have a good day!

Unicode Characters in Label/JLabels

Hi All,
Does anyone know how when any unicode characters within a String get transformed into the character they represent? I ask because I'm getting conflicting behaviour depending on whether the String is hard-coded or read from file at runtime.
For instance, the following code works fine and produces a label on the GUI containing the infinity character:
String name = "100 to \u221E";
JLabel label = new JLabel(name);
However, if <name> is read from an XML file, the label produced shows "100 to \u221E" verbatim.
Has anyone else seen this effect?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Andy Chamberlain

Thanks for that. If I understand correctly, is it
therefore the case that by the time the JLabel
constructor gets called, the String object ("name", in
this case) already has any unicode characters
encoded within it?
Exactly. The compiled .class file already has the unicode characters in it; JLabel has nothing to do with it.
If so, then when debugging, any such characters must
get decoded again back to ASCII when the value of
"name" is inspected within the debugger environment
(JDeveloper in this case).
Depends on the unicode-awareness of JDeveloper; I don't know anything about it.
And the finger would certainly then point to when the
String was created by the XML parser (I'm using
org.dom4j.io.SAXReader). I'll investigate this
further.If you have a text editor that can save a file in UTF-8, you could try saving the xml with the infinity symbol as plain text and specify the encoding of the file with <?xml encoding='UTF-8'?>... Or does your parser accept the &#some-decimal-number; way?

Oracle Receiver JDBC Adapter - Handling Unicode Characters

We have an IDOC to JDBC scenario.
In this IDOC is sending data like - 10/14u2019/P7 After 4 there is special character coming from SAP ( It is not single quote).
Mapping is going through OK and data is getting saved in Oracle Database as 10/14/P7 with & # x 19;
I came across following solution in forums and SAP Note.
I am not sure how to modify Oracle JDBC URL to handle Unicode characters properly.
Or is there any other approach we can follow to achieve this..
Any input is really appreciated
Q: I am inserting Unicode data into a database table or selecting Unicode data from a table. However, the data inserted into or retrieved from the table appears garbled. Why doesn't the JDBC Adapter handle Unicode correctly?
A: While the JDBC Adapter is Unicode-aware, many JDBC drivers and/or database management systems aren't by default and need a codepage or Unicode-awareness to be configured explicitly. For the respective JDBC drivers, this codepage setting is often configured via the driver URL. For details, refer to the documentation of your JDBC driver or database management system.

Hi Simona,
1.To start the visual admin, execute "go" file:
On Windows: Run \usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<xx>\j2ee\admin\go.bat
On UNIX: Run /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/JC<xx>/j2ee/admin/go
2.supply the credentials to login into visual admin
3.under "cluster" tab select "server node"
4.you will find "log viewer" under "services"
Since you are new, I recommend you to take help from your BASIS team.
Hope it helps !
Hi Alwin,
Just a quick clarification.
I used the URL you have mentioned, when we were on SP5. After that we upgraded to SP9.
From SP9, if you try to use the URL http://XISERVER:50000/AdapterFramework then it automatically redirects to a new webpage with the link to the URL i have mentioned.
