Does Java http adapter 7.31 use US-ASCII to send request in receiver channel?

[Former Member]

Hi,

we use the java http adapter in a receiver channel to send an order to a vendor. I know that PI itself uses UTF-8 for character encoding. I also thought that java http adapter uses the same character encoding. But now the vendor told us that they receive the http request as US-ASCII and they have a problem with some german special characters.

So does java http adapter use US-ASCII? If this is the case, is it possible to change it to UTF-8?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am not sure, but I assume that in a Java-Only instance, the files will be encoded per default with the encoding of the undelying Java-Engine.

Did you specify the encoding in the channel ?

(Specify content details => character encoding)

Other than this, the Seeburger EDI-Adapters include a "Charset conversion module" which could also be included in a module chain to change the encoding.
