Suggestion: make UTF8 as default encoding

JDeveloper still uses "System default" encoding for editor and compiler, not UTF8. Other tools, like IDEA uses UTF8 more than 5 years.
JDeveloper can be ajusted to use UTF8, but it is needed to make this in 3 places at last. If a new developer will not find this places, it will not use JDeveloper - currently, Unicode is a standatd. Example of big problems Character encoding again - nobody can help.
I suggest to make UTF8 as default in 11i.
Reasons:
1) user-friendly for new developers
2) no difference to americans
2) If Oracle developers will use UTF8 by default, they have a chance to find a plenty of little bugs. Mostly, this bugs are in a wizards wich uses XML,XSL,WebServices - just look in the message window.

Maybe it would be a good idea to really follow the right "system setting". On Linux, this is pretty clear, I guess it's just the current locale. On Windows, I don't think there is such thing. But everything is Unicode anyway in Windows, so I'd say UTF-8 would be quite a good thing.
Anyway, if everyone used utf-8 instead of the 8-bit national charsets, a great range of encoding problems wouldn't even exist. But sadly, I see many colleagues sticking with ISO-8859-1 because 'it just works, why change?'. Jdeveloper should try to encourage to use UTF-8 while still allowing all those sixties fans to use latin1 ;-)

How to make utf-8 default encoding firefox 4.0

how to make utf-8 default encoding firefox 4.0

The default encoding that you set in Firefox/Tools > Options > Content is only used if a server doesn't send an encoding via the HTTP response header and if there is also no meta tag or other indication in the file.

How do you make Firefox the default browser when the normal way doesnt work?

Im trying completely from chrome after a friend showed my how much firefox has got its act together. However i cant for the life of me set it as the default browser. I have tried the "make firefox the default browser" button in firefox, which simply opens the windows default programs panel. Whenever i try to use the panel it simply sets the http protocol to nightly which isnt even installed!( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think a possible fix would be to manually change the registry, but i wouldnt know where to start.

Did you check the box on ''Options > Advanced > General >[X] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"?
Have you restarted Firefox and if so, or when you do so, what does that section on the advanced Firefox options show?
Have you tried restarting your system after setting the default browser using the second suggestion and, after restart, check the setting per the second suggestion to see if that setting is holding?
Updating your Plugins would have no affect on the default browser question. It was something that you needed to do to avoid security issues online by using an out of date version of Java. Java is not involved in the default browser issue. That is why I separated it from the first part of the reply with a line and began with the word "Other".

Soap adapter default encoding

Hi there,
we have a XI <-> webservice scenario, where the XML messages are sent in a string (the wsdl is wrapped, literal) with digital signing.
As of now, we have a problem in the digital signing, since the webservice won't validate the signature. We made some tests and this is what I've concluded.
From what I've observed, there are three ways of sending XML file content in a string (let me know if there are more). They are:
1. putting the xml content between "<![CDATA[" and "]]>";
2. replacing '<', '>' and '"' with "<", ">" and """;
3. replacing '<' and '>' with "<" and ">".
2 and 3 appear to be different encodings.
We tried to send three messages to a test webservice, each with a different way of defining the string, using receiver soap adapter. This test webservice was located in a local machine and we ran a sniffer on it. The three incoming messages were logged by the sniffer, but the upseting news were that the three of them had the same encoding in the input string, which was the third one above ("<" and ">", which by the way is the default by UTF-8).
This only occurs when using SOAP adapter. I tested File adapter and it sent the file exactly how delivered by the sender service (meaning, with the different encodes or with CDATA). We even thought about using module processor for replacing the characters in the message, but since any custom module processor comes before the main adapter module processor, it won't have any effect on the final message.
Using XMLSpy, I sent some test messages to our digital signer (which is also a webservice) with the three ways and it returned a different output when using "<" encoding in the input. Then, I sent this signed message to the webservice and it validated the signature!
We are suspecting that the webserver (which is IBM's WebSphere) always converts the input string to "<", and when they calculate the message hash code, it's different from what we sent (since we always sign a "<" encoded message).
My question is: is there any way of changing the default encode that the soap adapter module processor uses? Or at least of making it not changing the encode of the payload? If it were possible, we would send the message to the signer webservice with "<" encoding and the problem would be solved.
Thanks in advance,
Henrique.

Morten,
actually, we've found out that < = < , in both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 encodings. It makes no difference if you use one or the other.
The point which was troublesome for us were the special characters (like á,â,à,ã,é, etc) which have different encoding for UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1. Since we had identified that the service we were accessing wasn't able to identify these characters properly, we just removed them from the string fields and that worked out for us.
Hope it helps you out.
Regards,
Henrique.

Invoke Node - Make current values default

I have an issue similar to many postings regarding the use of an invoke node to set control values and then to make those values default in that I get an error message: "Error 1000 ( The VI is not in a state compatible with this operation)."
The catch is that it is not all the time.
I am trying to set up a configuration utility which allows configuration or modification of settings of channels and serial ports. This top level VI pulls values from a configuration file using a mid-level VI which, in addition to loading the configuration file, also calls a further sub VI which initialises and sets as default front panel objects on a number of VI's using Invoke Nodes. Thus there is a heirachy of three VI's
with the lowest level VI doing the Invoking.
The only time I get the Error 1000 is when I try to run everything from the top level VI. From any lower level the VI's run with no problems and the defaults are set as desired.
Any suggestions as to the origin of the problem?
Ross.

To complement the other answer that explains why it not always works, I would again and again stress that !! make current values default !! is not the way to go when you want initial values to be changed.
For changing startup values you should use .ini files !

Encoding from UTF-8 encoded String to Microsoft Project default encode

Hi Expert ...
I have a problem with encoding a String from UTF-8 String in order to write a MPX (Microsoft Project) file. I used UTF-8 on my Database encoding, and I want to write a MPX file using MPXJ library, but the result is (?) character. I think it's because I didn't encode yet to Shift JIS (a Microsoft Product default encoding). And after that I try to encode the String with Shift_JIS encoding, but the same result is appeared. I try to looking another way, but there is no result.
I hope some expert would help me to solve this problem.
Thank you,
Alfian B.

Totally wrong. A String doesn't have an encoding.
Now if you had an array of bytes, which were encoded using one charset, and you wanted to convert that to an array of bytes encoded using a second charset, you would use code like this:byte[] bytes = // the bytes encoded in UTF-8, let's say
String s = new String(bytes, "UTF-8"); // make that into a String
byte[] newbytes = s.getBytes("windows-31j"); // encode the String into windows-31j

Changing Apple Mail default encoding to unicode

Is it possible to change the mail default encoding to Unicode (UTF-8)?
thanks

BlueBird1958 wrote:
after sending my mails, they become unreadable symbols.
What does that mean? Are the recipients unable to read them? Or are you talking about how they look on your machine, for example in the Sent folder of Mail app?
Normally Hebrew would always be sent in Unicode.
But it certainly cannot hurt anything to test adding a unicode dingbat to a test message and see whether it makes a difference for your problem.

What is the default encoding file format for oracle database.

Hello,
I wanted to create all files in ANSI format irrespective of database characterset. is there any way to confirm?
please help me out.

Hello,
AS per my knowledge, UTL_FILE expects that files opened by UTL_FILE.FOPEN in text mode are encoded in the database character set And files opened by UTL_FILE.FOPEN_NCHAR in text mode are encoded in the UTF8 character set. However there is not any parameter to set default encoding format for file. It works as mentioned above.
Encoding mode is depend on database character set. If you want to change it while reading/writing file then you can use utl_encode.text_encode/ utl_encode.text_decode/ UTL_RAW.CONVERT function.
When data encoded in one character set is read and Globalization Support is told (such as by means of NLS_LANG) that it is encoded in another character set, the result is indeterminate. If NLS_LANG is set, it should therefore be the same as the database character set..
I wanted to create file using UTL_FILE. and whatever files gets create that should be in ANSI format.
Database version : 11.2.0.1

Office 2013 click-to-run does not honor deselecting 'Make Outlook the default program' checkbox

We use an email client other than Microsoft Outlook (let's say Thunderbird)
Thunderbird is set as the default mail client for the machine (HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) set appropriately)
Occasionally, we launch Outlook (but absolutely do not want it as the default mail client for the machine). About 30 seconds after launching Outlook, we see that the Windows default mail client changes to Microsoft Outlook.The 'Make Outlook the default
program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar' checkbox in File->Options is disabled.
Further investigation with ProcMon indicates that a SYSTEM service called integrator.exe starts up about 30 seconds after we launch Outlook. This service changes the HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) registry key to be Microsoft Outlook.
We have tested with multiple non-Outlook email clients, and the behavior is always the same.
This only happens on click-to-run installs of Office 2013. Regular installs of Office 2013 do not have the problem. Older versions of Outlook do not have the problem.
What can we do to get Outlook to honor the 'Make Outlook the default program' setting?

Kapaal -
Thanks for your reply. Your blog post would certainly work if this was just a user-mode app that was making the change, but that's not the case with Office 2013.
The integrator.exe process that is making the change is part of Microsoft's Click-to-Run system. It runs as a service with local system access, and thus would have full access to the key. I might be able to lock it down by creating a second system
admin account and playing games with it - but that will make it very difficult to actually change the value when I want it do be changed, and I really shouldn't have to be doing workarounds to prevent Office itself from doing this.

How to change default encoding in DataBindings.cpx

Hello,
How to change default encoding in DataBindings.cpx,
on windows-1251 for instance?

I've filed Bug# 3147045 for this. Our DataBinding.cpx file and UIModel XML files seem to be getting hardcoded to use the ISO-8859-1 encoding. Our ADF Business Components XML files correctly pickup the IDE encoding.

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

How do I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative Windows XP account, where clicking to do so has no effect?

I have two accounts for myself on my PC running Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that opens when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows it's the default browser there.
In my other account, every time I start Firefox, it tells me it's not the default browser. Clicking there to make it the default, or in the options, does nothing.
When I go to Set Program Access and Defaults in the administrative account, "Use my current Web browser" is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my non-administrative account, the Add or Remove Programs control panel can't be used. It says I don't have permission.

To check that in the other account you would have to give it temporarily administrator permissions.

How can I/Can I make Firefox the default .PDF viewer in Windows 7?

For the basic PDF viewing I do, Adobe Reader is just slow and annoying. I love using Firefox, but unfortunately I cannot set it as the default program to open PDF files. Even when I select Firefox after right clicking and select open with, Windows does not comply. Is there a config option I can change that will allow me to set Firefox as the default PDF reader.
Thank you for your help.

You can not make Firefox the default for viewing PDF files for the entire Windows Operating System, only the default viewer from within Firefox. Like when PDF files that are downloaded from websites and displayed in Firefox; you can try using '''File > Open File''' from within Firefox to view PDF file that are already saved on that PC, but I'm not sure that will work - I haven't tried doing that.

Get Rid of 'Would You Like to make iCal Your default calendar application'

Since installing the Plaxo 'helper' / Pref Pane - I now get the following message every time I launch iCal (and Address Book) ...
'Would you like to make iCal your default calendar application?'
Even when selecting 'Make Default' it still asks the next time. Is there a setting in com.apple.ical.plist (or similar) that controls this that I can look at, or is there a terminal command to try setting this another way?
I'm bothered a) why I get this at all - suspect Plaxo b) why I can't just set this the once. Any help gratefully received.
If it is Plaxo monitoring and then setting/changing a flag on the fly it's soon going to be heading for the trash....

OK, here I am answering my own question... It turns out there's another Discussion which has the following solution:
I had the same message pop-up. I quite iCal and then went to ~/Library/Preferences and trashed the apple.ical preference [plist]. After that, I re-launched iCal and checked the box in the message box and it took that time.
I tried this... we'll see if it works for me.
