I've tried and find that the problem is a little worse than I
imagined (or maybe it is not).
You're right, ISO-8859-1 can't currupt win files: I had a win
ISO-8859-1 win2K SJ server running for a long time, no probs. Thingy is,
my Linux is UTF-8. There is this env var: "LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8" that seems
to be sensitive for Tomcat. I didn't tell this earlier, but even my diff
window on SJ was messed up, also for non-corrupted files on disk.
Changing this var before running SJ, e.g.:
> LANG="pt_BR.ISO-8859-1" sh sj_gui
seems to help a little. I bet if I set this var to ISO-8859-1 before
running tomcat the problem will go away (for windows, that is). Then I
will probably have to set 2 tomcat servers, one ISO-8559-1 and the other
UTF-8. That's a lot of resources, so I thought of the alternative I've
mentioned before.
Aside of this complications, is there a way to use text files of
many encodings on the same SJ archive/server? Suppose one have some
webpage that has some .html for languages like Japanese, English, Arab, etc.
Would it be possible to store this files uncorrupted in SJ?
PS: Rob, if I were to implement this, would it be a hard thing? If you
give me some directions, I might implement it, if needed.

Hi, Marcelo.
Glad to hear from you again. I recognized your name as soon as I saw it.
What you're saying sounds possible, but I'm not sure it's necessary. I've never
noticed that using
ISO-8859-1 corrupts Windows files. Can anyone out there tell me if I'm wrong
about that?
Unfortunately, if you decide you want this change, you'll probably have to
implement it yourself.
I really can't make any promises at this point about when I'll (finally) get
around to developing
new SJ functionality.

Hello, Robert!
It's been a while since my last e-mail. I'm the one who did that
little translation tool, ages ago...
Now I'm back, and have a little question for you: Is it possible for
SJ to use different encoding charsets for differente files? I had
configured SJ server to store text files in UTF-8, since most of my
files are on Linux, and are UTF-8. Now I need to store some Delphi files
and it seems that these files are ISO-8859-1.
Well, my big problem is that this situation forces SJ to be mutually
exclusive regarding the charsets. That is, I can either store using
UTF-8 and have my Windows files corrupted or store using ISO-8859-1 and
corrupt my Linux files. I thought of setting up two servers, but that
would be too much of a hammer solution, and I'm trying to avoid that.
I can think of three possible solutions for this:
1) SJ could use a specific encoding charset (utf8 or iso8859-1) for
storing the text file, but also storing what encoding the user wants the
file to use. This way, during the Get SJ would convert the file
between the storage and user charsets.
2) SJ could store each file it its own encoding charset, eliminating
the need of conversion.
3) Combine the two above: SJ would store the file on its own
encoding, but also allow conversion (other users might want the file
with a different encoding).
I hope you can help me find a solution for this problem.
Thanks!
