Xcelsius and charset/encoding

[Former Member]

I wonder if Xcelsius works in UTF-8 or in ISO-8859-1...

Let me explain how we work :

- we put a "input text" component on the canvas

- the value from the component is inserted into a cell of the Excel spreadsheet

- the value is transmitted from the SWF to a JSP page (through the GET method with the URL button component)

When the value has special characters like é, à or ç... it does not display well in the JSP page.

I try to convert to UTF-8, to ISO-8859-1... but still I am not able to keep the characters correct from start to end.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Xavier,

Not sure if your problem solved.

I am now facing the same problem you stated here. Sending some special characters like ห�?�?วย to JSP page but then cannot convert to proper charset.

Do you have any update on your post here?

Would appreciate if you can comment your workaround.

Thanks!

in the jsp page, before sending/receiving any parameter, use

response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

then try to print the parameters accepted in the jsp page and see if they are displayed properly or not.

Hi Arijit,

Thanks for your response.

I have tried and applied some further statements from your suggestion, and it works!

Here is what I did:

Set request encoding to ISO-8859-1 by request.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-1");

Convert string from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 using new String(sContent.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");

And then write to output file using new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(strFile), "UTF-8"));

Thanks again!

Cheers.
