I have a problem with the accent character in different platforms.
When I log this in my machine under fedora (where default charset is UTF-8) it is printing correvtly as Sacré Coeur.
But when i update to another server that is running on RedHat (where default charset is ISO-8859-1), it is printing as
Sacré Coeur. I want to log it in RedHat server as same as in my my Fedora machine. How can I do this?
My Workout :
I tried to changes the System.setProperty("file.encoding",
"ISO-8859-1"); in local with the purpouse of doing the reverse
version System.setProperty("file.encoding", "UTF-8"); in the RedHat
Server, if it change the way of logging in the local. But nothing
changed.
I noticed there are couple of threads regarding the accent character
but nithing answers me. That's why I asked a new question.
I tried this one as well but not working.
System.setProperty("file.encoding","ISO-8859-1");
Field charset =Charset.class.getDeclaredField("defaultCharset");
charset.setAccessible(true);
charset.set(null,null);
But I didn't try to set the charset at the JVM start. If it will works please explain me how can I do it?
To get similar out put from all the environments, with out depending on the server OS
default character encoding, when you start your program or the server environment (Jboss tomcat or jetty) pass -Dfile.encoding to the start-up script
(lets say run.sh in jboss, add -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to JAVA_OPTS)
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

When I execute Java program as a user in terminal with command:
java -jar progName.jar
I receive stable and workable program which writes info to some files. But when I wrote some commands for cron scheduler to execute this program regularly, program works fine, but text in files is written in wrong encoding and I receive not the text but ???.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 on my server machine.
Thanks for your answers and tips. I solve this problem using a comment of user eg04lt3r:
This issue is depends on OS default encoding. If you didn't define direct encoding when write to file, it uses default OS encoding. So, add encoding for characters when you write data in file in your app.
So, I added encode way to my writer in Java program, and now everything works fine.
I have an issue where I think my local JVM is running with a different character encoding to one that runs on a server. Is there a command I can pass to the vm to display what character encoding is has? Something like
java show 'charset'
I've been searching for ages, and all of the solutions require writing a test in java code, but I don't really want to have to write code, deploy it to the server, etc.
So I have an application written in JavaFx 2.2 that has been packaged for linux, mac, and windows. I am getting a strange issue with some of the text fields though. The application will read a file and populate some labels based on whats found in the file. When run on ubuntu or mac we get a result like as you can see we have that special accent character over the c and it looks just fine. However in Windows it shows up like this . Any idea as to why this is happening? I was a bit confused as it is the same exact application on all three. Thanks.
Make sure to specify character encoding when reading the file, in order to avoid using the platform's default encoding, which varies between operating systems. Just by coincidence, the default on Linux and Mac happens to match the file encoding and produces correct output, but you should not rely on it.
I have a simple program that makes a request to a remote server running a service which I believe is written in Delphi, but definately running on Windows.
I'm told the service will be using whatever the default encoding is for Windows.
When I get a response and use println to output it I'm getting some strange symbols in the output, which make me think it is a character encoding issue.
How can I tell Java the the input from the remote system is in the windows encoding?
I have tried the following:
_receive = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(_socket.getInputStream(),"ISO-8859-1"));
_System.out.println(_receive.readLine());
The extra characters appear as squares in the output with 4 numbers in the square.
Unless you KNOW what the "default encoding" is, you can't tell what it is. The "default encoding" is generally the system-global codepage, which can be different on different systems.
You should really try to make people use an encoding that both sides agree on; nowadays, this should almost always be UTF-16 or UTF-8.
Btw, if you are sending one character on the Windows box, and you receive multiple "strange symbols" on the Java box, there's a good chance that the Windows box is already sending UTF-8.
Use cp1252 instead of ISO-8859-1, as it is default on windows.
I have a problem with Tapestry form.
My XML database is very sensible with encoding, and need utf-8.
When i put the char 'à' in my form, tapestry receive 'Ó' and my core get an error : Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence.
I haven't the problem in eclipse with local default configuration for tomcat.
But whatever the tomcat configuration, i think my application must do the conversion itself.
So i try :
charset="utf-8" in form => FAIL
buildUtf8Filter in AppModule => FAIL
The charset of every page is always utf-8.
So, what could i do before using java Charset encoder ?
thank you for helping me. :)
I wouldn't think there's anything wrong with your application. Tapestry does everything in UTF-8 by default; that wiki page is fairly out of date (referring to the 5.0.5 beta, where apparently forms with file uploads still didn't use UTF-8 properly).
You're saying you don't have the problem locally. Have you tried running on a different server? If you do not have the problem there, there's probably something wrong with the codepage settings of the operating system on the server.
Purely anecdotal evidence below
I have once had a similar character set problem in a Tapestry 5 app on the production server (running SUSE Linux) that I could not reproduce on any other server. All seemed fine with the application, the Tomcat server, and the codepage settings of the system, but POST data would end up decoded as ISO 8859-1 instead of UTF-8 in the application. The app had run on that server for a year before the problem manifested - maybe through an update in the operating system.
Afer a day of not getting anywhere, we ended up just re-installing the whole server OS, and everything was fine again.
The problem was about the default charset of the JVM launched into windows shell.
It caused trouble with FileWriter and then show bad character in the console :)
