Hi Dan, Thanks for this information.
Can you tell us if Rocket has any plans to further develop / support the original COM/OLE version of UniObjects? And in particular, are there any plans to release a 64 bit version?

Looks like UOJ is getting "mature." In my situation, it is attractive since we use Domino and Unidata extensively. But, I do not want to invest my time in something that won't be supported in the future. My question for Rocket is "Will UOJ be further developed and supported by Rocket in the future?" Thanks.

The above has caused me many problems in both web applications and running UOJ on mobile devices. I got a debugger out and went through what is happening, it appears UOJ is using deprecated routines within java and writing invalid data to the udcs server. The deprecated routines are using the systems character encoding to convert 16bit java characters to 8bit bytes. As the host systems character encoding is variable thus different data will be sent to the server depending on what location and operating system is used. Roughly the uniobjects conversion routines grab the java system property "file.encoding" which is meant for reading and writing files and use it directly and indirectly to write data to the socket. Quick fix is on the java command line "-Dfile.encoding=iso8859_1" Warning: once java program is running ie System.setProperty("file.encoding","iso8859_1") does not work as a bunch of system level stuff is cached on startup. The above "quick fix" has many bad side effects as the java process now has the wrong character encoding to read and write files on the local system and has caused me issues in third party libraries which expect to be able to read and write files correctly. ie my web server should be emitting utf8 for maximum compatibility but is putting out iso8859_1 for most files thanks to this "quick fix" It would be better for the rocket engineers to decide on a character encoding to talk to the server with and set it as a separate define(or hard code it maybe), according to oracle the basic encodings below should be available on most jvms : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
