error message is in chinese, though from
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException it is obvious that the problem is with
encoding.
if i give i encoding , namely,
if i only retreive the parameters from the request, compilation is okey. And
as i said previously the servlet works perfect.
however my problem is my customers are chinese, so the program must be able
to handle chinese characters. Without this , it is equal to "doesn't work".
surely i do know what does exception is , but here obviously my JVM doesn't
recognize the traditional chinese chars (big5), which i suspect to be a bug
in jdk 1.3. Even if the exception would have been caught and the
compilation were succesful, still it wouldn't be able to handle big5 chars
,right ?
i am seeking a workaround solution here , because there are many experienced
programmers here who might have faced the same problems either with chinese
chars or with some other charset.
Am i clear now?
thanks for taking time
cheers :)
