I have started doing some work with Chinese characters, and java doesn't
care about the language. As long as you make sure that you use Unicode
character sets. There is quite a bit of internationalization built into
java to handle using multiple languages. Just make sure that the database
stores the data as Unicode and doesn't translate it into one of the 8-bit
character sets. The O'Reilly book on Servlet covers internationalization.

Subject: Chinese text processing
Hello there,
I am familiar with using servlets/JSP for normal English sites.
I am interested to know how, doing things with Chinese characters
is different in these areas
1) Servlets/JSP obtaining values from FORM with chinese input characters
2) Servlets/JSP compare values of Chinese input.
3) Servlets/JSP using the Chinese values to search through the database
4) Servlets/JSP evaloutput the Chinese characters obtained from database.
5) Servlets/JSP of database table to represent Chinese data
For example, can I still use varchar as column type or do I need
to use long, binary or whatever.
Assume for now that I am interested in Oracle as the targetted
database.
Any suggestions and help is very much appreciated.
TIA.
Regards,
Chee Keong
