No, nothing to do Tomcat. But I know "Cp1255" is not part of the standard charsets supported by Java platform, so you may out of luck here.
Btw, jdk1.4 recommends StringReader over the deprecated StringBufferInputStream class. --------------------- java.io Class StringBufferInputStream Deprecated. This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class. --------------------- -Yan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 20, 2004 10:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Getting a request in a non English character Thanks, But I tried and it doesn't work Is it because it is in the GET request and not in POST Maybe Tomcat don't know how to deal with Charset Cp1255 requests? -----Original Message----- From: Yansheng Lin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 5:17 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Getting a request in a non English character Hi, I don't have that book, so I am not sure if there is a new version. But I think you can try one of the constructors in the String class. String value = req.getParameter("param"); String valueInUnicode = new String(value.getBytes("Cp1255"), "UTF8"); -Yan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 20, 2004 05:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Getting a request in a non English character Hi, In an attempt to solve a problem of getting a request in a non English character, and to convert it to Unicode, I use a similar code , (BTW , taken from O'Reilly's "Java Servlet programing" First edition) import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; import java.io.*; public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException { try { //set encoding of request and responce req.setCharacterEncoding("Cp1255"); //for hebrew windows res.setCharacterEncoding("Cp1255"); res.setContentType("Text/html; Cp1255"); String value = req.getParameter("param"); // Now convert it from an array of bytes to an array of characters. // Here we bother to read only the first line. BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(new StringBufferInputStream(value), "Cp1255")); String valueInUnicode = reader.readLine(); }catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } this works fine , the only problem is that StringBufferInputStream is deprecated . is there any other alternative for that ?
