Hi, I am yet again being haunted by character set problems and actually don't have a clue what is happening here.
I have one web application and 2 servers. Linux Server: Red Hat Linux 2.4.18-14 JDK 1.4.2 Apache Tomcat/4.1.24-LE-jdk14 Postgres 7.2.2 Accessing the Database via JDBC, charSet=SQL_ASCII Windows 2000 JDK 1.4.2 Apache Tomcat/4.1.24-LE-jdk14 Accessing the same postgres database on the Linux server Accessing the Database via JDBC, charSet=SQL_ASCII The config for the application is exactly the same on both machines. But here is my problem.... I have a form in my web application that allows an admin user to paste content from MS Word which in turn gets saved into the postgres database. As we all know Word uses some strange characters for apostrophes, commas, spaces etc. Which I understand. I have another page that reads and displays the value from the database. When the application is installed on the windows server the particular character (which is some kind of spacing character in word) gets read out of the database as Ascii code 160, BUT on the Linux server the exact same routine reads it as ascii code 65533 Same database, same application config - only difference is OS The JVM's are both set up as default english installs. I really am battling with this one.
