With this various talk about trying to get Shift_JIS to work with (Wi)Tango's XML
functions, I was wondering:
Has anyone had any experience trying to get double-byte characters to and from Java
Beans?
(Or COM objects for that matter)?
A while back I was working on some Java classes that can be called from (Wi)Tango to
take care of encoding conversion and double-byte string functions.
(Stuff like getting the length of a string in characters; Tango2000's <@LENGTH> tag
just returns the number of bytes.)
I tried to pass shift-jis characters into my Java Bean, but they appeared to get
broken between Tango and Java.
I couldn't even get them to work on a very simple set->get round-trip, like (from
memory):
public class myEncodingTest {
String myString;
public myEncodingTest() {
}
public String setMyString(String s) {
myString = s;
}
public String getMyString() {
return myString;
}
}
I was testing this stuff with Tango2000 on a Japanese Windows 98 machine (which was
all I had with me 'cos I was on vacation...) and I haven't had time to do proper
testing on other platforms.
I worked around this by using the <@ASCII> tag to get a numerical representation of
each byte, then pass those to my Java Bean, which seems to work OK, but yuck...
So has anyone else had any experiences (good or bad) getting double-byte characters to
and from Java Beans?
Or would I have had better luck with COM?
