Thread: Getting Wrong Chars in Request!

Hi guys

I recently struck into an Issue, where I'm accepting CSV in a textarea( named=value) within a HTML FORM and method is POST.
Also I have a LanguageForm (extended from ActionForm) which have a property with value and its setters and getters like

Framework in use is Struts 1

public class LanguageForm extends ActionForm {
    private String textValue;
 
    public void setTextValue(String val) {
        System.out.println("LanguageForm:setTextValue:\t"+val);
        textValue = val;
    }
    public String getTextValue() {
        System.out.println("LanguageForm:\t"+textValue);
        return textValue;
    }

And I provide value in HTML FORM like :

arvindbis,คงที่,นักพัฒนา -----> THAI Chars(2 of them)

and submit the form.


What I got on console :

Verifying Connection
Verifying Connection
Verifying Connection
Verifying Connection
Verifying Connection
Verifying Connection
LanguageForm:setTextValue: arvindbis,นั�พัฒนา,คงที่
LanguageForm: arvindbis,นั�พัฒนา,คงที่

I'm setting jsp's charset as utf-8

Where as If I upload a file then I'm getting expected output, but still above one is stored at database.

I even thought may be db is not accepting these chars so I did manual insertion and DB is working fine. this leads that issue is somewhere in Java Code only
Tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.

your question is very difficult to answer, cause u re not explicit with ur need. what's re u making exactly? 1-do u got a form that u can upload CSV file, 2- what is the contents of ur CSV (arvindbis,คงที่,นักพัฒนา ) 3- after upload u have in the setTextValue (arvindbis,นัà¸�พัฒนา,คงที๠ˆ) 4- is right? the step i write?

Sorry for giving ambiguous info.

I'm trying to support all worldly language in my application, i.e. user can see and write in there local language

But I'm getting issues with certain languages like Arabic, Thai, Japanese etc

here are the steps:
1. Html Form is created using html tag struts 1 framework.
2. My Html form have both facility that EITHER you can upload excel/CSV file( this part is working as expected) OR you can type the contents yourself as I shown in my question already (it is textarea field named as textValue )

arvindbis,คงที่,นักพัฒนา -----> THAI Chars(2 of them)

when this OR part is used I get wrong output. ie.

arvindbis,นัà¸�พัฒนา,คงที๠ˆ

where as uploading file(with contents as "arvindbis,คงที่,นักพัฒนา") shows the following output

arvindbis,คงที่,นักพัฒนา

as expected.

Also these difference is reflected till DB. therefore indirectly leads to corruption of data in DB.

I hope this time things are well clear, in case not then please let me know.

--- Update ---

I was wondering what do we call following characters ?

นั�พัฒนา,คงที่

which are displayed instead of actual characters
