character encoding problem
Hi List,
I'm having problems about character encoding (latin2).
I receive string data from PostgreSQL tables and when I put them on my jsp pages some characters are converted to "?"-s. It happens with letters "ő" and "ű".
The data in the db is correct.
I set the character encoding in the pages by:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2">
and all characters I write _dirctly_ in the pages are displayed correctly.
I set the locale in the tomcat startup script by "export LANG=hu_HU" and checking Locale.getDefault() gives the correct answer (huHU), but has no effect.
The only solution I have found so far is this:
<%=new String( journal.getName().getBytes("ISO-8859-2"), "ISO-8859-1")%>
This results in the correct display but means I have to escape _all_ outputs by hand.
There must be an easier solution. Please help!
thanks in advance, Peter

Lord knows I've had my share of troubles with this combo. Finally I found the
way to make it all work.
PostgreSQL - the particular DB was Unicode encoded.
JDBC - normal connection string
JSP - just normal statements, with
<@ page contentType="text/html; charset=win-1250">
Believe it or not, CP1250 works, at least on Tru64 UNIX JRE.
Formally, the DB should work even if LATIN-2 encoded, but I've had odd problems,
which went away the moment I switched to Unicode.
Nix.

Funny, it is exactly the same solution that we've found, and with JSP it works
only with older jdbc drivers. I would appreciate too if anyoune let know
how to deal with it 'more elegan'.

For Tomcat 4.x.x you can set:
<%@page content-type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2" %>
<%@page pageEncoding="ISO-8859-2" %>
The first one sets the charset for the writer, the second one tells the JSP
compiler which charset it should use for the reader when it is compiling the
page.

Not quite. I've always set <@page....> . Indeed, it is needed to
correctly display non-US characters, but doesn't help with JDBC
connection.

I'm assuming that this is happing within a JSP page. In which case, you
need to set:
<%@page content-type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2" %>
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2");
The problem is the the Writer's charset is determined by one of the above,
and will default to ISO-8859-1 (as per the spec) if not specified.

RE: from port 8080 to port 80
Posted by neal <ne...@yahoo.com>.
Further wierdness....in addition to it still listening on port 8080 ... the
webmodule I just installed is apparently non-existant ... that according to
my browsing session to view the web app. It would seem that perhaps there
really IS another instance running or something ... but we just installed
the first ever install of Tomcat and did so without the NT service...it
seems like an impossibility that a duplicate would be running ... but the
symptoms would suggest that to be the case. I'm stuck. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Sounds like the instance of tomcat which is running is not using the
configuration file you are editing, or you've got another instance of tomcat
running on 8080. You didn't specify if the port 80 was being listened to.
After you have ruled out other instances, grep the config file for 80 and
double check you don't have another connector configured.

I'm just saying what you're describing sounds like another instance.
Check the service manager, TC should be labeled. Or, just look at
the processes in the task list.
