What is your database URL? Are you ensuring that a charset is specified on your
database connectivity? This charset should be Cp1252 for Windows-1250. Find a row in
the database with a euro character and ask yourself how that euro character got there?
If it got there using an encoding different from the response encoding then you will
get your ?. In order to solve this problem you need to make sure you have test data
correctly encoded to match your database encoding. Then work backwards to the UI. Make
sure the db URL charset matches the database. Then use a JSP with pageEncoding and
charset of utf-8 OR try Cp1252 OR try Windows-1250. I don't think you need to worry
about changing your DB encoding .. it seems to me that you either have incorrectly
encoded data in the database which is throwing you red herrings when you get the UI
encoding right OR your UI is just mal-configured.
1. I have a Windows-1250 oracle database, and I am using TC
5. and jsp/html
pages
to perform updates/inserts. Despite using iso-8859-15 in my
jsp/html, the
client
is still posting a ? (question mark symbol) instead of a Euro symbol.
Anybody know what is happening ?
2. If I do change our product database, from Windows-1250 to
UTF-8, how will
this affect existing applications I wonder writing to the
database using
Windows-1250 or iso-8859-1.
I guess because utf-8 is backward compatable it should not affect the
existing apps. making
updates or inserts?
Would appreciate any help !
thanks
