Hi ,
thanks a lot for your help.
We followed your advice, but we're still having trouble.
Here you are what we did and the results we obtained.
Client side:
1. user inserts into html form the following string :" euro € ".
2. the javascript which manages the form converts, using function
"encodeURI", the string in UTF-8 format: string becomes "euro%20%E2%82%AC"
3. URI is sent to WEB Server.
The HttpServletRequest so becomes :
http:/my_host:my_port/my_jsp.jsp?my_text=euro%20%E2%82%AC
Server Side:
In the bean of the JSP we do:
String my_text =request.getParameter("my_text");
System.out.println(my_text) produces "euro Ô?¼ "
then we followed your hint:
byte[] stringBytesISO = my_text.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
String new_text = new String(stringBytesISO, "UTF-8");
Now the dump (done converting the String to a byte[] and then
System.out.println() of every byte of the array) of the String new _text
shows the Euro symbol in the correct UTF-8 format,
i.e. "128",
but when we redo the System.out.println(new_text) we obtain
"euro Ç".
We suppose it is only a problem of System.out.println, and so we don't care
about it, the big problem arises when we send back to client the String new
_text to be reshown at the user in a html page.
The user now sees "euro ┐" in the html page.
At client side we use the function "decodeURI()" , in the javascript used
for loading the data in the html page.
Any suggestion?
Very Thanks in advance.
Tito.
