Re: retrive Arabic data
Hi, I am using following tools and technologies for the web application · apache-tomcat-5.5.23 · jdk_1.5.0_12 · JSP, Servlet · SQL servelr 2005 · Windows server 2005 enterprise edition SP1 1. All JSP pages have the following code · %@ page contentType=text/html;charset=Cp1252 % · meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=windows-1256 2. In servelet, The ouptput of request.getCharacterEncoding()) is appeared as NULL 3. In Database properties, collation is set as SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS 4. Database table column where Arabic inserted is nvarchar 5. In insert statement, Arabic string inserted as N’arabictext 6. Deafault charset on the windows server 2003 platform is windows-1252 I have done the following two points extra to retrieve the Arabic data. 7. In Regional and language option on Windows server 2003, in Advance tab, the language for non Unicode programs is selected as Arabic(UAE). 8. Restarted the window server 2003. Able to retrieve the Arabic data.

Clearly you missed the part AT ONE POINT IN TIME. On my systems, when I was trying to figure it out at one point in time, that's what I saw. Easy, Cujo. It's not clear from your post that AT ONE POINT IN TIME the Linux default was something specific. It's only clear that the Windows default enjoys that qualification. 1) Default Charset on each platform. - -1 Figuring out the default on different platforms is step 1 of understanding you have a problem. There's a difference between someone telling you that there's a problem, and seeing it. Fully understanding the problem is a growth point that will prevent it from happening again. While proper enlightenment does require as much information as possible, solving this problem does not involve determining the default charset on any platform. I believe you run the risk of confusing the OP by adding this variable to the equation. If you use something like one of the ISO encodings then you're tied to English Don't tell that to anyone who speaks Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Upper Sorbian, Lower Sorbian, Finnish, Danish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese. There are probably others covered by the ISO character sets. I would also check the system you're on /for the browser/. I had a problem where one machine could properly render Chinese characters while another one couldn't: the server was 100% correct but the client was failing to display them properly. There's nothing the server can do about that! I've seen this many years ago, but not recently (5 years or so). Certain versions of Windows XP do not ship with appropriate fonts for Chinese and other languages: you have to install a multi-language pack in order to support them. My version of Vista did not appear to have this problem, but I'm not sure if that's because they changed something specific. I don't have a volume license for Vista (there's just no reason to upgrade everyone here to change the color of the Start menu ;). - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkokE4sACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAnZwCfTUoTorfEVylydmmm6sOrSzuz XEQAn1QLscWkJ6srMf1efLvhXneUYlpj =HOnJ -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Env | grep file\.encoding= file.encoding=ANSI_X3.4-1968 That's ASCII, baby! I'm sure the same issue is happening here. It's defaulting to Windows-1256 on Arabic windows, on another OS it's defaulting to ISO-8859-1 or perhaps ISO-8859-6. As Len points out, file.encoding should have nothing to do with this since the data source is a database. file.encoding is only used when converting bytes to characters and no encoding has explicitly been specified. The db driver should at least default to something (which /may/ be file.encoding but should probably default to whatever the database is actually using). I ran into these kind of issues when I called the various String to Byte Array functions, e.g. String.getBytes(). I was calling getBytes() and then using a hash function for the result and getting different results on different machines. That's because calling String.getBytes() is a bad idea. You should be using String.getBytes(String). In short, there's no simple answer. You have to figure out step by step where things are going wrong, and then address those issues. +1 1) Default Charset on each platform. - -1 2) Charset the database is declared with 3) Charset of data coming in from db. +1 4) Charset of pages. Do the pages explicitly set the encoding to UTF-8? +0 : UTF-8 isn't the only game in town, but it's the only one worth playing :) This application wouldn't work on any system unless the page encoding had been explicitly set to something that contained Arabic characters, since the default JSP encoding is ISO-8859-1 which clearly does not contain such characters. I would also check the system you're on /for the browser/. I had a problem where one machine could properly render Chinese characters while another one couldn't: the server was 100% correct but the client was failing to display them properly. There's nothing the server can do about that! I would also check your database driver settings. If you use Tomcat to set up your database connection pool (using a Resource element in context.xml) then you may have different encodings set on different servers. Make sure that they are all the same (and I would highly recommend copying the one that /works/).

Re: retrive Arabic data
The issue is the default character set for Java. I've noticed that at least at one point in time, the default character set for Java running under windows was Windows-1252. Running under Linux it defaults to ISO-8859-1. I'm sure the same issue is happening here. It's defaulting to Windows-1256 on Arabic windows, on another OS it's defaulting to ISO-8859-1 or perhaps ISO-8859-6. I ran into these kind of issues when I called the various String to Byte Array functions, e.g. String.getBytes(). I was calling getBytes() and then using a hash function for the result and getting different results on different machines. If you call java.nio.charset.Charset.defaultCharset().displayName(), you can see what it is. Here's a reasonable discussion of some of the issues. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/361975/setting-the-default-java-character-encoding In short, there's no simple answer. You have to figure out step by step where things are going wrong, and then address those issues. I would check: 1) Default Charset on each platform. 2) Charset the database is declared with 3) Charset of data coming in from db. 4) Charset of pages. Do the pages explicitly set the encoding to UTF-8?

Re: retrive Arabic data
For Len : I agree with what George writes below. I also agree with the point that a webapp /can/ handle any charset properly, if it is properly programmed to do so. The point here is that probably, some webapp is /not/ properly programmed for that, and just uses the default charset of the JVM And, as George explains below, that one is different under different circumstances. Which was why I asked the OP about the different Windows flavors. By the way, does anyone know for sure /where/ the Sun Windows JVM picks up the default locale settings ?

Any other setting that I need to do in Tomcat. The ability to display non-latin charactrers depends as much on the client operating system, as on the what the server is providing. For example if you have nothing on your computer that knows how to render arabic charcaters then you are likely to end up with junk characters (usually question marks). The best character encoding to use for international data, and in general IMHO, is UTF-8. Most recent operating systems support UTF-8. With Windows 2003 server and Windows 2000, it will depend on what browser you are using, whether you have international language packs installed and whether you have the right fonts. Linux, MS-Windows (as of Windows XP) and MacOS X all know how to deal with UTF-8. On Windows you should ensure that at least Internet Explorer 7 is being used.

Re: retrive Arabic data
True. If I understood well, problem is not in submitting requests, but in rendering response, data fetched from database aren't displayed well on one machine, but do get displayed well on the other. Abdul didn't mention details about client side where was he opening problematic page. Let's assume he always tested application using same browser and version on same machine where server/application was running, so both client and server were same pc. Besides possibility of different default encoding having effect on server side, could availability of fonts on client machines also have effect on how site is rendered? Maybe some application Abdul installed on XP but not on two servers brought with itself additional fonts which site/page just happens to makes use of. Regards, Stevo.
