Encodings and scripting languages
Hello, I've been working on a project using Apache Pivot and Python for UI
logic. Everything works perfectly, except for encodings. It seems that pivot
only registeres the default system encoding, excluding all others. This is
causing me problems since the application I'm writing is suppose to run in
windows (latin1) and my development machine uses linux (utf-8), forcing me
to manually change the encoding for strings when making production releases.
Has anyone got any information on this issue? I'm able to open a jython
console and use different encodings, but somehow this is not working in
pivot. Perhaps this is not a pivot issue, but an issue with the javax.script
API.
I hope someone has an answer to this, thanks in advance.

Does it help to start your application with -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8?

Hi Edgar,
I'll try to take a look at this feature (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-773 ) if possible for the
2.0.1 release, thank you for the moment.
Bye

That seems like a reasonable feature request.

Netbeans 7, but using -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 as Edvin suggested did the
trick... again, it'll be nice to be able to set the encoding of the
included script in the bxml file.
Thanks for the tip Edvin!

What are you using for an editor?
Re: Encodings and scripting languages
Posted by Edgar Merino <do...@gmail.com>.
Ok I've been struggling with this for days and can't find a solution:
suppose I have a python script that uses a utf-8 string, like this:
myString = unicode("canción", "utf-8")
if I run the script in linux it'll work without a problem, but if I run
it under windows then "myString" will containt gargabe instead of "ó", I
have to manually open the script in windows and change it, this changes
encoding when saving the file to iso-8859-1.
I would like to stick with utf-8 for my scripts, but I don't know how to
handle this type of characters in windows. One solution I've found is to
use native2ascii in my scripts so my strings will be unicode.
I have also tried setting the encoding declaration in the script itself
but an exception is throws complaining that I cannot declare the
encoding when the script is being evaluated (the whole script is a
string). Is there a way to define an encoding for the script that'll be
included in a bxml file?
Any help is greatly appreaciated!

Hello Sandro, I'll be glad to contribute to the project by porting the Hello
World! script example to jython, I'll just need some time until I finish
this project, but you can count on it!
Greg, Sandro: I actually found it's an IDE issue, the files are being copied
using UTF-8 for it's encoding, I tried filtering the resources using latin1
(iso-8859-1) but I had the same results, I'll see what I can do and I'll let
you know the results as soon as I get them.
Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
Edgar can you attach here a zip containing a minimal sample to see the issue
?
Thank you very much.
Ah, on apache-extras I've created some time ago an empty project,
pivot-jython ... are you interested in help us and fill there some content
(non copyrighted, like some minimal example) ? We already have there other
projects for other JVM languages ...
Tell me.
Bye,
Sandro

This sounds like it could be an IDE issue. Are you sure your IDE is configured to save your source files using the right encoding?
