Hi All, I am implmenting XMLRPC server as a servlet in my project. I am also using the RPC client provided with the apache source. I want to use the UTF-8 character set for both server and client communication. Even after that, the data stored in database has got corrupted. Is anybody having any tips or experience about it??? I have set the character set at server side as follows; public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException { XmlRpc.encoding="UTF-8"; XmlRpc.debug=true; XmlRpcServer xmlrpc = new XmlRpcServer (); xmlrpc.addHandler ("$default", new RemoteMethod()); byte[] result = xmlrpc.execute (req.getInputStream ()); res.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8"); res.setContentLength (result.length); OutputStream output = res.getOutputStream(); output.write (result); output.flush (); } The client side code are as follows: package org.apache.xmlrpc; import java.util.Vector; import java.net.URL; import java.io.*; public class RegistClient { // the xml-rpc client XmlRpcClient client; /** * main method */ public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception { RegistClient client = new RegistClient ("http://192.168.38.51/oem/servlet/XmlRpcServlet"); client.run (); } /** * Constructor */ public RegistClient (String url) throws Exception { client = new XmlRpcClient (url); } /** * Read from standard input and make an asynchronous XML-RPC call. */ public void run () throws IOException { String token = null; BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); Vector v = new Vector (); XmlRpc.encoding="UTF-8"; //prepare arguments for RegistCustomer Method v.add ("Onamae"); v.add ("CustomerID001"); v.add ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); v.add ("Praveen"); v.add ("Udawat"); v.add ("ウダワット"); v.add ("プらビーン"); v.add ("150-0045"); v.add ("東京部"); v.add ("渋谷区"); v.add ("17−14−202神泉町"); v.add ("03-3464-7574"); v.add (""); v.add ("08050297299"); try { Object result = client.execute ("RegistCustomer", v); System.err.println ("received: "+result); } catch (Exception exception) { System.err.println ("Error: "+exception); } } }
