UTL_HTTP with parameter and special character

hello,
i need your help to solve this issue.
I try to open an utl_http request which calls a procedure with some parameters.
i have to create an url like:
http://myserver.de/pls/portal/coup.run_report?p_link=run_coup&p_report=coupon_doc_hot.rdf&p_number1='d1=2887745051191'&p_pevno1='p1=TTG00000013''&p_transno1='t1=5'&p_number2='d2=0'&p_pevno2='p2=0'&p_transno2='t2=0'&p_number3='d3=0'&p_pevno3='p3=0'&p_transno3='t3=0'&p_number4='d4=0'&p_pevno4='p4=0''&p_transno4='t4=0''&p_number5='d5=0''&p_pevno5='p5=0'&p_transno5='t5=0'&p_number6='d6=0'&p_pevno6='p6=0'&p_transno6='t6=0'&p_number7='d7=0'&p_pevno7='p7=0'&p_transno7='t7=0'&p_number8='d8=0'&p_pevno8='p8=0'&p_transno8='t8=0'&p_number9='d9=0'&p_pevno9='p9=0'&p_transno9='t9=0'&p_number10='d10=0'&p_pevno10='p10=0'&p_transno10='t10=0'&p_desformat=pdf&p_destype=file&p_desname=/ias/developer/coup_cache/U002345/report.pdf
If I run the url directly in the browser, everything is working fine. But with utl_http, I only get a 404 error.
i guess it's caused due to the 'd1=0' parameter, but I can't avoid them.
url_string := 'http://myserver.de/pls/portal/coup.run_report?p_link='||trim(to_char(l_link))||'&'||'p_report='||trim(to_char(p_report))||'&'||

any hint?
best regards

That's because the special characters you are using are the scripting tags and it confuses itself with the OIM scripting process, for instance JSP's etc.
So I would recommend not to do it and have your policies in place which restricts end-user to have a password with such special characters. I did not tried that but you can possibly do that.

Change Password with changePasswordForSelf and Special character

Hi,
I was trying to use the OIM (9.1.1.0) API to change the password using:
userIntf.changePasswordForSelf(oldPassword, newPassword, confirmNewPassword);
This works when I use some standard password.
The issue appears when I try to enter certain special character: e.g: < or >
The error returned is :
<Error (class Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException): Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException>
Exception is: Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException
I reckon this is done to prevent injections.
I didn't see any restriction in any of Oracle documentation and was wondering if you can help me understanding:
- if you have observed the same issues before
- which character are affected by this
- if there is a work around to allow these character
Thank you.

Htp.p() and special character

I am trying to use PL/SQL procedure to present my customized item.
If user type in secial character, e.g. single quote ', in an attribute, I got this error on the page:
Error 30584: DBMS_SQL has raised an unhandled exception. ORA-06550: line 1, column 327: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "03" when expecting one of the following: . ( ) , * @ % & = - + < / > at in is mod not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like between ||
Is there a procedure I can call to encode the special character? I tried htp.ps() and htf.escape_sc(), however they are not dealing with single quote.
thanks

I am using a custom item type to display news and annoucements for my intranet.
The custom item type has an associated procedure that renders it on the front page of my intranet.
If the end users enter an apostrophe such as ' . in the title custom item type or the body of the custom item type, I get an error message on the page where the custom item type is displayed, such as
Error 30584: DBMS_SQL has raised an unhandled exception.
I tried changing the procedure that formats and displays the custom item type so it replaces the quote for example
v_description := replace(v_description, '''','ampersand#8217;');
note i am using the ampersand character and not the word so it posts correctly here, the variable is then used as below .
<td>'||substr(v_description,1,400)||'..</td> .
but it does not work.
Is there anyway of trapping what the user is typing in before it gets put into the database and replacing it with a html special character.
or is my plsql wrong.
Any help appreciated.

Hi DK,
I'm not sure about special chars such as ":" but ifyou need to have your folders displaying special language chars (like german chars), have a look into the below link.

I just noticed that I forgot to use an empty stoplist, so I have added that to the revised example below. Otherwise, it uses a default stoplist that would not index common single-letter words like A and I.
1. Whtat is Just search on single character 'L'? It give me error.
Since it uses the NEAR operator, searching for just one letter causes incomplete syntax, asking it to search for L near a missing second value. So, I have added additional code to allow for just one letter.
2. How do I do auto refresh on this index on datastore?
If I add "sync        (on commit)" it does not refresh the previously set token.
Sync(on commit) does synchronize so that the data is immediately searchable. You have to either optimize or rebuild or drop and recreate the index to condense the rows in the domain index table.
3.lastly explanation of
<seq>NEAR((' || letters_func (:search_string) || '),1,TRUE)</seq>
                  <seq>NEAR((' || letters_func (:search_string) || '),100,TRUE)</seq>
                <seq>NEAR((' || letters_func (:search_string) || '),100,FALSE)</seq>
why 100 true and 100 false
100 is just a default value that I used for the second parameter of near, indicating how close the letters need to be to each other. True and False are values for the third parameter of near, indicating whether or not the letters must be in the same order or not. So, it returns the results in the order of first those that are very close to one another and in the same order, then those that may be further away but in the same order, then those that may be further away and in any order.

Import over network link fails when table and special character.

I am trying to do an import over the network link. Below is the command I am using to do the import. In the parameter file the table name has "$" sign. Database is on AIX.

Still my import fails with below error.

I had more than 20 tables to import. All the other tables get imported except these tables which have special character. I have confirmed that these tables exists in source database.
Please advice.

Error-Description:
When MII get a Message (RFC) from the ECC, all special character (German Umlaut) coming wrong.
I tried with changing the Language, codepage... without any success. When I call the same Message
(RFC) from the BLS through a JCO action block, then the result is with special character. I also tried
this on a MII 12.0.5 installation without success... Did anybody had this problem one time?
Kind Regards
Pedro

Pedro,
we are working in an german environment with unicode, although I have set the Message Listener language to EN. I have found some material texts which came down with a MATMAS that contain german umlaute and which are shown correctly inside the database.
I have also used a "normal" JCo block, no session. I guess it would make no difference using an IDoc or RFC.
Have you seen the wrong characters, in the MII workbench or in a database where you store the contents?

REGEX AND SPECIAL CHARACTER

Hi guys, I have a problem!!!!
I am using the java.util.regex.*, when I try use the special character, for example ' \w ' I get a error
Pattern.compile("\w123\w");
The compiler return to me that the \w character is not a valide, the output error are:
"illegal escape character".
What I need do to put this character in my regular expression and don't get the error?!!?
Another question, I use the feloow code
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("isc");
Matcher matcher = p.matcher("Giscard");
if(matcher.matches())
System.out.println("MATCH");
else
System.out.println("NOT MATCH"); //The resul is always this, why the regex don't match with my name?Thanks one more time.
Giscard

1)
Pattern.compile("\\w123\\w");To input a single "\" in a Java program you must enter two "\\".
2) read the javadoc
matches()
Attempts to match the entire region against the pattern.
So "isc" only matches "isc", not "Giscard"
You need to use find()

Script and special character!!

Hi ,
while printing address using address and endaddress, i am getting special character > ( ><(><<)> ( ><(><<)> <(><<)> ) > <(><<)> inserted between ort01 and ort02 field while printing city in the editor in se71 , everytime i remove it it appear again and again....
anyone faced something similar ....
Regards
Gunjan

Hi
Check whether your system is Unicde enabled or not?
Because in Unicode system there is a chance to get such type of Unwanted special characters.

A problem with regex and special characters

Hello,
I am using regex in my application but i have a problem with special characters. Here is the explanation of what i am doing:
I have a certain piece of text that i want to parse and replace every occurrence of a given word with some sort of a tag which have the word found inside it.
so that: go Going Go to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play GO Go
and i need to replace the word "go" (case insensitive and only at word boundaries) should be:
*<start>go<end> Going <start>Go<end> to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play <start>GO<end> <start>Go<end>*
Consider the following code and call the method with the parameter"go?"
The Matcher finds a weird match at the word "G?oing" with only the letter G !!!
It also ignores the "?" in the pattern completely.
Any clue of what is happening i would be very grateful...
private static String replaceMatches(String strToFind)
        String resultArticle="";
        String article = " "+"go? G?oing Go? to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play GO? Go?*"+" ";
        strToFind = "\\b"+ strToFind +"\\b";
        String linkPart1= "<start>";
        String linkPart2 = "<end>";
        Pattern p = null;
        try{
            p=Pattern.compile(strToFind, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
        Matcher m = p.matcher(article);
        String[] res = p.split(article);
        int i=0;
        //System.out.println("result of split: "+res.length );
        while(m.find())
            resultArticle+=(res[i]+" ");
            resultArticle+=linkPart1;
            resultArticle+=m.group().trim();
            resultArticle+=(linkPart2+" ");
            i++;
        if(i<res.length)
            resultArticle+=res;
//System.out.println("result of match: " + i);
System.out.println(article);
//System.out.println(resultArticle.trim()+scripts);
catch(PatternSyntaxException ex){}
return resultArticle.trim();
}Thanks

because split will not work when trying to replace the first word if i don't append a space at the beginning.Split doesn't work anyway. And my question wasn't why do you add spaces (which you really don't need to do), but why do you do them with " " + "go" rather than just " go"
replaceAll will replace all the occurrences in the text with only one word. without taking into consideration the case of the word i need to replace.No.

If i use replacaAll(article, strToFind) the output will be:
<start>go?<end> G?oing <start>go?<end> to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play <start>go?<end> <start>go?<end>No. I showed you the actual output of an actual replaceAll.
which is not what i want as i need to keep the case of the words i am replacingThe replaceAll I showed you does that.
Please study the examples given and read the docs carefully rather than making claims based on inaccurate guesses.

SAX Parser and special character problem

Hi,
Could anyone help with the following problem?
Background:
1. Using a SAX Parser (Oracle Implementation) to read XML from a CLOB, convert this XML to another format to be inserted in the database.
2. Due to performance issues we parse the input stream from the CLOB.
3. For same reason, we are not using XSL.
This is the problem we face:
1. Values of some of the tags in the XML have special characters (Ex: &, <, >).
2. While using the SAX Parser, the element handler function for the SAX Parser is called by the frame work with the value of these tags broken up with each of these characters being treated as a tag delimiter.
Ex: <Description>SomeText_A & SomeText_B</Description>
is treated as SomeText_A in first call to the handler; SomeText_B in the second call.
The handler function does not get to see the "&" character.
Thus, the final conversion is
Say, <Description> is to be converted to <FreeText>
we, get <FreeText>SomeText_A</FreeText>
<FreeText>SomeText_B</FreeText>
We tried using &; but it then breaks it up into SomeText_A, & and SomeText_B.
How can we get the whole value for the <Description> tag in the characters() function in the SAXParser so that we can convert it to <FreeText>SomeText_A & SomeText_B</FreeText>.
Thanks in advance..
Chirdeep.

We already tried that..looks like the line where I mentioned that it converted the entity referece characters to an ampersand..
"We tried using <entity reference for &> but it then breaks it up into SomeText_A, & and SomeText_B."

Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
Thanks

Hi DBA-One
This link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
There is only one thing about different character sets.
I quote:
Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.

NetBeans problem: Issue with servlets and Chinese character encoding

Java Version: JDK1.5.0_01, JRE1.5.0_01 (International version)
Netbeans Version: Netbeans IDE 4.0
OS: Windows XP Personal Edition
Dear Sirs,
First at all thanks for reading this post. I am having the following issue. I am creating an application using html pages and servlets. I am using Chinese and English languages on them (html encoding UTF-8).
I created a project in Netbeans and added an idex.html screen reporting to a servlet. Both index.html and in the servlet generated html page contains the line:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Additional, I setup the character code settings in Netbeans:
(tools-options-Java sources-Expert-default encoding=UTF-8
When I run the project, index.html displays itself perfectly, with the Chinese characters displayed properly. The problem comes when the html created servlet is displayed, which instead of the Chinese characters some strange characters are displayed (�� instead of Chinese).
I have tried different encodings from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html without any luck. I also setup the encoding of the file itself (using right click-properties in the project menu of Netbeans).
Also, when I am editing the servlet, the characters are displayed properly. I type them directly without any issue, but then the display is wrong at runtime.
Also, just in case this have something to do with the problem, my PC was bought in US, therefore the default character set is not Chinese. I had to install the Chinese typing stuff later on. But like I said earlier, the html page is displayed properly, so I really think is some problem with Netbeans.
After a week trying to find a solution, I decided to post it here in the hopes that someone will show me the way of the light.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or help provided
Aral.

Ok, I found out some problems with Netbeans as well.
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                      HttpServletResponse response)
        throws IOException, ServletException
        response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        byte[] st = {-25,-75,-124,-27,-100,-106,-17,-68,-102,-27,-80,-113,-27,-72,-125,-26,-118,-75,-26,-105,-91,-27,-82,-93};
        out.println("this works: ");
        out.println(new String(st,"UTF-8"));
        out.println("<br>");
        out.println("this doesn't: ");
        out.println("some chinese copied from the Internet<br>");Right click the .java file and choose properties -> encoding UTF-8
Then I make a copy of the .java file, rename it to html and open it with IE sure enough
the Chinise is allready unreadable (not it's still readable in the IDE);
When I compile the file with F9 I get the following error:
whatever.java:101: warning: unmappable character for encoding Cp1252
Tried to set the encoding to UNICODE but then the file doesn't compile.
I gues you have to download the Japanese version for it to work correctly.

External Table, Handling Delimited and Special Character in file

Hi ,
I have created one external table with these option
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ***************************************
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
SKIP 0
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
LOCATION
( 'test_feed.csv'
Now problem is these are coming as valid.
anupam|anupam2
anupam"test|anupam"test2
"anupam|test3"|test3
anupam""""test5|test5
anupam"|test7
but these are not coming as valid
"anupam"test4"|test4    --> Case when we have quotes in the filed but still have quotes in it. I guess in this case we can send the filed expect closing double quotes.
"anupam|test6   --> In case field is starting with double quotes then it's failing
"anupam"test8|test8"|test8 --> In case one filed contains both pipe ( |) and double quotes then we are sending it enclosed in double quotes. But thats failing the job.
Can you suggest what is the best way to handle such scenario? ( One restriction though. The file is used by other system - Netezza as well, which can't take more than one character long delimited :'( )

One approach is to define the external table a ONE column table (with single field on the file). This way each line will come in as a row in the external table. Of course you have to build "parsing logic" on top of that.
DROP TABLE xtern_table;
CREATE TABLE xtern_table
    c1 VARCHAR2(4000)
organization external
    type ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT directory xtern_data_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS (
        RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
        FIELDS TERMINATED BY '~'   ---- <<<<<<<< Use a field terminator as a character that is not found in the file
        MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
        ( c1 CHAR(4000)
     ) location ('mycsv.csv')
> desc xtern_table
desc xtern_table
Name Null Type
C1        VARCHAR2(4000)
> column c1 format A40
> select * from xtern_table
C1
anupam|anupam2
anupam"test|anupam"test2
"anupam|test3"|test3
anupam""""test5|test5
anupam"|test7
"anupam"test4"|test4
"anupam|test6
"anupam"test8|test8"|test8
8 rows selected
Ideally, it will be good t have an incoming source file with predictable format.
Hope this helps.

Problem with JDOM and euro character

Hi,
I have an xml file including euro characters (�) and starting with :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>
as it should probably be.
However, my problem is that (JDOM and) SAXBuilder doesn't recognize the euro characters and replace them by an unknown character '?'.
What's wrong and how can I solve it?
Thanks in advance.

All right, this is a a part of my code:
....SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder( true );
//create the document
//this doc contains this tag <RefVersion> data�data </RefVersion>
Document doc = builder.build( "E:\\test.xml" );
System.out.print( "before charAt = " + "�".charAt(0) + String.valueOf('\u20ac') );
String str = "euro�euro";
System.out.println( "euro�euro ->" + str.replace('\u20ac','O') );
Element root = doc.getRootElement();
//recup du noeud RefVersion
Element version = root.getChild( "RefVersion" );
str = version.getText();
System.out.println( "nom= " + version.getName() + " data= " + str );
System.out.println( "index de � ds euro�euro " + str.replace('\u20ac','O') );
and the output is:
before charAt = ��
euro�euro ->euroOeuro
nom= RefVersion data= data?data
index de � ds euro�euro data?data
So, obviously, it comes from JDOM.
