Hello, I have been testing the java mapscript of mapserver-4.10-beta1 and it seems that layer.queryByAttributes only works with UTF-8 character encoded shape files and only if tomcat is started also in UTF-8 (ja_JP.UTF-8) LANG environment.
I tried using Shift_JIS encoded shape files (99% of all shape files here in Japan are Shift_JIS encoded) and tomcat restarted in UTF-8 and then Shift_JIS LANG environments, but I couldn't get it to work anymore, as in layer.queryByAttributes can not match query items anymore with the data. Is there a work-around for this. Thanks. Mario.
