However this makes Slide unusable with other "stranger" encodings such
as Russian UNLESS you have a unicode database.
Yes, if you want to store unicode into you database the database will have to support it, right?
are trying to add Slide to already running webapps that were created on
non-unicode databases.
I don't want for this project to have both Russian and Icelandic in the
same page, sorry for that misunderstanding. I know you need an unicode
database to do that and we have done that already.
Our problem only arose because the existing database was ISO-8859
encoded.
No idea how to solve this. If your database has ISO-8859-1 (is it 1?) encoding you simply can not store Russian into it. A solution would be not to encode anything in the database, but leave it as bytes. Of course you can not search meaningful then...
I'm not trying to store Russian in an ISO-8859-1 database but Swedish and Iceland.
When I need to store Russian I always use an UTF-8 database.
: ) hehe ok sorry,
I looked at the patch that Thomas put in Bugzilla and it looks like it
could work but I think the FAQ or the Wiki should contain clear
instructions on how to use Slide in a non UTF-8 environment.
Still unclear to me what is a non UTF-8 environment.
Non UTF-8 environment would be e.g. a Tomcat server that for some
reason has to be run in an ISO encoding. One reason is like in our case
that the existing DB is in ISO format and the JDBC driver might not be
able to convert UTF-8 to the encoding being used in the DB when we want
to save something (other than Slide stuff).
Are you talking about content or URIs now? If things work alright, the URI should be a string and then there is no decoding/encoding issue any more. Content should be BLOBs anyhow...
I was always talking about URI's.
Thanks for all the help guys, hope this will be resolved in the next minor version.
Could you clarify what "this" means in this context.This meaning: That Slide could run without having to use UTF-8 for the encoding. The putMethod today will assume we are using utf-8 or the system default.
PutMethod of the server?
Yes on the server, see my previous looong post with code examples ; )
However the WebDavResource will always use the clients system encoding and there is no detection of the URLEncoding in the putMethod and therefor the URI_STRING saved to the database is gibberish. (I explained this in much more detail in a previous email).
So it's a client issue? Can you propose a patch that allows to set how to encode the request URI?
It's both a client and server issue, the client (WebdavResource) should at least have putMethods (and others xxxMethods probably or a constructor) that take into them the desired encoding.
like putMethod(filename,inputstream,encoding). Should be simple to add.
On the server side we need for Slide to figure out in what encoding the client is sending. For example Web Folders on WIndows does not seem to work correcly for Icelandic NOR Swedish letters when running Tomcat in UTF-8 with an Oracle store. I don't know what encoding they use but it is definately not UTF-8!
However Novel NetDrive works great once you check the "Use UTF-8 for paths" setup option.
I'm most interested in seeing if Thomas' patch can guess the correct URI encoding and make sure to convert the file/folder names that you want to upload to the correct encoding before saving them?
-Eiki, Idega.
Maybe I am just no smart enough to help, sorry...
