question marks appearing after deploy to production server
Hi,
I have a strange problem, I wrote a servlet that retrieves some data from a
database, which may contains characters such as ë.
On my local tomcat 4.1.24 testserver the output shows correctly as in 'aërobe'.
However if I deploy the application to one of our testservers, the result
is 'a?robe'.
Does anybody have a clue how this may happen?
regards,
Hans

This could be to do with the character encoding setting in your jdbc driver.
Are you connecting to the same database on your testserver as on your
localmachine? Are you obtaining a Connection object in a different way?

It is almost certainly a characterset problem. You can specify the
characterset when you set the content type, and Tomcat will create an
OutputStreamWriter ( to create the PrintWriter ) with that characterset.
Or if you are creating the PrintWriter yourself, specify the correct
encoding.
Another thing to check is the characterset in your database. You want to
make sure this matches.
Hope this helps.

It is almost certainly a characterset problem. You can specify the
characterset when you set the content type, and Tomcat will create an
OutputStreamWriter ( to create the PrintWriter ) with that characterset.
Or if you are creating the PrintWriter yourself, specify the correct
encoding.
Another thing to check is the characterset in your database. You want to
make sure this matches.
Hope this helps.
