I have same problem with Arabic language

Hi..

This problem occurs when you try to input special characters like ' into the database..ADF converts it into something like #234245 (i dont know the exact convention..but it will be similar to this ) which will later be interpreted as those question marks in black diamonds and other such symbols..I guess that is what is happening with the arabic language too :)

Hope this answers your question..

As to how you can get rid of it, i think you need to parse the string which is given as input and handle such special characters manually..there might be an easier and more straightforward solution, though!

Hi,

Impossible to parse the string : the method that uses the input text to process is in the backing bean, in I use getInputText().getValue() to get the value.

With a System.out.println("an input : "+this.getInputText().getValue());

gives :
so ? instead of black diamond, of course.

Maybe there's a place where you set locale, in my case french, and in the other's one arabic.

All,

I didn't post the link from where I copied this short blurb because then people would say "but I'm not using PHP" - the concept applies, however:

Hi,

yes thanks you. I just remembered charset before you posted! Of course that's the problem.

It was set to windows-1252 ; i set it to utf-8 : now it's working but the accent charenter in layout elements does not display correctly. Wich is weird because according to http://www.tony-franks.co.uk/UTF-8.htm the accent caracters like é, è or so are into utf-8 charset.

Hi,

This issue has been resolved a while ago ; I found this in metalink :

>
"Character encoding problem in ADF 11 app"

.

Problem:

========

.

Page encoding is changed after Submit.

It happens after the end user opened an < af:inputDate> or < af:popup>

.

.

To Reproduce:

=============

.

The problem reproduces with the following page:

.

< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>

< jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"/>

< f:view>

< af:document>

< af:form>

< af:panelFormLayout>

< af:inputText label="1 - Type some accented letters like éêüçà"/>

< af:inputDate label="2 - Select one date"/>

< f:facet name="footer">

< af:commandButton text="3 - Click here to submit"/>

< /f:facet>

< /af:panelFormLayout>

< /af:form>

< /af:document>

< /f:view>

< /jsp:root>

.

Run the page, enter some accented characters in the inputText and click the

Submit button -> everything is ok

.

Repeat the operation, but this time select first a date through the calendar

widget before you click Submit.

When you click Submit, the accented characters are changed.

.

.

Workaround

==========

.

It works fine with UTF-8

.

< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

...

< jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>

...

.



You may have to search for the good set of arabic characters, but it applies however.
