Passing multi-byte strings from ANT using task
Hi All,
In our project we have requirement to pass multi-byte strings from ANT to java program. We are passing multi-byte strings using the <sysproperty> ANT task. In the java program we are retrieving it using the System.getProperty() method and saving that value to a text file which is in UTF-8 format. But the proper multi-byte string is not getting saved into the file. Could someone help me in resolving this issue?
In the ANT file we are passing the multi-byte string like this: “<sysproperty key="com.param1" value="ђmỘnяỘỆ" />”
In the java program we are retrieving the string like “System.getProperty(“com.param1”)”.
We are working on Windows environment with language pack installed and using the Eclipse which has "text file encoding" property set to UTF-8. Could someone help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks in Advance…
Thanks,
Shashidhar Kotta.

Mark,
Basically SK wants to pass a System Property into a Java programme executed
by Ant. The problem is, that he wants to set non-ASCII characters as the
System Property, which is a bit tricky.
I agree with you, we need a clearer understanding of what SK is trying to
achieve and perhaps BASE-64 or escape codes will be sufficient.

- You should specify unicode content in the XML as valid XML content,
not escaped \u0123 style.
-The <java> task and things that use it set up the command line; there's
a risk that it could get in the way and not preserve high unicode
content. If so, its something we need to test for
-A more reliable way of passing data down to your app could be for Ant
to pass down the name of a .properties file, a file loaded explicitly by
the application with Properties.load() . Even better, use the XML format
for properties and load with with properties.loadXML(). This would take
the command line and ant out of the loop and be more likely to work

Your code is encoding the String it sees into UTF-8, this is likely the
right output, but not what you expected?
You need to think through what you are trying to do, but from this
result, I would suggest that your code might be receiving the Unicode
value correctly from Ant. I would be surprised though. To check you
would need to print the string in a Unicode 'aware' way.
To guide, we need to know what you intend to do with this string, but
this is less of an Ant question and more a Java question.

Your code is taking a String and encoding it in the file under UTF-8.
UTF-8 does not have the characters you need so it tries to do it's best
for you and 'fails'.
It gives you a result, which you are retrieving from a file, copying
and pasting into an email.. This flow also involves a number of
interpretations too.
I don't see you have stated what you want to do with your Unicode value
yet? If you do want it to persist in a file encode in UTF-8 then you
need to convert the Unicode bytes into a format that can be held in this
encoding. Perhaps 're-escaping' or BASE-64 encoding it.
Personally I think you should also be specifying the value within the
Ant xml in UTF-8, so you comply with the encoding statement at the top
of the xml. BASE-64 or escaped might do you.

Not sure if your problem with the exec task was resolved or not but from your earlier example I see that the syntax of your exec command is wrong as you cannot directly invoke a batch file directly within Ant and have to pass it to the system command first, see the exec's examples:

RE: Passing multi-byte strings from ANT using task

Hi,
I have tried with your ANT code but it is displaying ?m?n??? only.
Here is the simple java code which I am using.
OutputStreamWriter bos = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("D://testoutput.txt"),"UTF-8");
String username = System.getProperty("com.param1").trim();
bos.write(username);
bos.close();
and here is the output from "testoutput.txt" file -?m?nя??
Thanks,
Shashidhar Kotta.

Can you explain step by step what you are trying to achieve?
How are you viewing the contents of the file you are producing? Are you
using a viewing method that supports the UTF-8 encoding properly?
This page:-
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#utf-8
describes nicely the encoding structures you are dealing with.
I'm sorry to say that I had an incorrect view of what could and could
not be represented in this encoding. I see now I was incorrectly
confusing UTF-8 with ASCII-8!
If you are :-
specifying various strings within an ant build.xml file,
to have ant pass them through to your code,
which then writes the String to a file...
Then you need to be careful with what tools you use to view and check
(perhaps edit) the result.
How are you checking your result? What commands or application are you
using to see 'hm?nя??' ?

Hi All,
Thanks for all your inputs. We are half-way through.
We are using “–Dfile.encoding=UTF8” jvm args and now we are able to pass multi-byte strings from ANT to Java and even from the cmd to java also. This works when we set the system to a particular region and send the multi-byte characters FROM THAT PARTICULAR region only. That means if the system is set to Korean region then we can pass the '뒷다리' Korean string from ANT to java.
But in our case we have string which has the characters from different regions. That's why when we set the system to Korean region and pass 'hmỘnяỘỆ' then only the 'я' characters is getting passed properly. Other strings are coming as '?'(i.e 'hm?nя??')
Thanks,
Shashidhar Kotta.

RE: Passing multi-byte strings from ANT using task
Posted by Shashidhar Kotta <Sh...@ness.com>.
Hi,
You mean Unicode escapes sequences like '\u0012'?
We have tried by passing the Unicode escape sequence like
> "<sysproperty key="com.param1" value="\u0012" />"
But when we call System.getProperty("com.param1") it is just giving us the same escapes sequences like '\u0012'.
Surprisingly if we set this inside the java program(like the code below) then it is printing proper multi-byte character:
System.setProperty("com.param1", "\u0012");
System.out.println(System.getProperty("com.param1"));
Thanks,
Shashidhar Kotta.

This is a guess, but try using the Unicode escape sequences for your
sysproperty.

This is a guess, but try using the Unicode escape sequences for your
sysproperty.
