Hi,
I am developing an internationalized web based application using Tomcat 3.1 on Windows
2000. I am facing the following problems
When I pass Japanese values to the servlet and I retreive the value using
myData = httpservletrequest.getParameter("foo");
I get ?? in myData.
So I used
myDataNew = new String(myData.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
This is the solution that is found at most forums I looked for.
I still get the value of myDataNew as ??.
I am able to get the correct value in myDataNew only after I boot my server with
default locale as Japanese. But I cannot do that since my application is web based and
needs to have support for all the languages. So the server should necessarily be on
English OS. This is also the business requirement.
Question 1. What should be done so that running the server on English OS I will be
able to get the correct value in myData for all the languages, specially Japanese?
The new tomcat 4.0.3 uses the Servlet Engine 2.3 in which there is a facility to set
the character encoding for the httpservletrequest. I upgraded my tomcat server to
4.0.3.
Now I tried using
httpservletrequest.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
myData = httpservletrequest.getParameter("foo");
And I am still getting the value of myData as ?? for Japanese values.
Question 2. Is there a problem in the way I am using
httpservletrequest.setCharacterEncoding method? What else is needed to be done?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanking in anticipation
Regards
Mubariz
