Hi,
I have a servlet (running under tomcat 4.1, java 1.4.2) that sends XML in
the HTTP body from a servlet. The I want the XML to be encoded in UTF-8.
when I run Tomcat on windows 2000, the XML appears fine on the client end,
but running Tomcat on debian woody linux, accented characters don't appear
correctly. In the XML output stream, each accented character comes out as
two characters, so obviously the fact that it's supposed to be UTF-8 is
being lost.
here's how I'm streaming the XML:
response.setCon tentType("text/xml");
OutputStream os = response.getOut putStream();
OutputStreamWri ter osw = new OutputStreamWri ter(os , "UTF-8");
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(osw );
pw.print("..all the xml..")
If, instead of writing to the response object, I write to a
FileOutputStrea m, the accented characters appear OK in the file.
I'm a bit stuck here because when I wrote this code, I read up all about
character encoding and did what I thought was right, and it all worked on my
Win2000 test system. I can't figure out what could be going wrong on the
linux box.
many thanks for any advice on hints,
Andy 7 14238

How do you check the XML? With a browser? here's how I'm streaming the XML:
response.setCon tentType("text/xml");
Maybe you can add the encoding to the HTTP header:
response.setCon tentType("text/xml;charset=utf-8");

Thanks very much Johannes, that fixed it perfectly - isn't usenet just the
best thing ever? :-)))
I'm still not sure why it works differently on windows 2000 - maybe down to
the native locale of the OS or something I guess.(or possibly slightly
different version of tomcat)

No, that's not obvious at all. Not from the information you have given.
Unicode provides for logical characters to be composed of two or more
characters; for instance, a lowercase u with an umlaut could be
represented as the latin lowercase 'u' followed by the umlaut "combining
character". Many of the more common combinations also have
single-character representations , including the u-umlaut example, and
pretty much all the "diacriticalize d" characters used in Western
European languages. The alternative representations are equivalent as
far as Unicode is concerned, and Unicode processors are permitted to
freely substitute one for another. They should be displayed or printed
the same by a conformant processor.
Moreover, the fact that you are making judgements about the "UTF-8ness"
of the stream based on the character count leads me to wonder whether
perhaps you are confusing characters with bytes / octets, or whether you
misunderstand the nature of character encodings. The character count
has little to do with whether the characters are encoded in UTF-8;
rather it has everything to do with which character or characters have
been encoded. The byte count has more relation to the encoding, but is
still closely tied to the characters that have been encoded.
here's how I'm streaming the XML:
response.setCon tentType("text/xml");
Better would probably be "text/xml; charset=UTF-8".
OutputStream os = response.getOut putStream(); OutputStreamWri ter osw = new OutputStreamWri ter(os , "UTF-8"); PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(osw ); pw.print("..all the xml..")
If, instead of writing to the response object, I write to a FileOutputStrea m, the accented characters appear OK in the file.
As judged how?

The output part looks okay to me. I suspect you have a different
problem than you think you have.

No. Not "obviously"
Capture and list the actual *bytes* going across the wire. Inspect them
and then you can say one way or another. here's how I'm streaming the XML:
response.setCon tentType("text/xml"); OutputStream os = response.getOut putStream();
IIRC, you need to set the encoding before the call to getOutputStream ().

news:40******** ****@joncruz.or g... response.setCon tentType("text/xml"); OutputStream os = response.getOut putStream();
IIRC, you need to set the encoding before the call to getOutputStream ().
The encoding needs to be specified on several levels. One is the HTTP
Response header, one is in the XML header ( <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="..."? > ), and finally the output sent to the response's
outputstream need to use the very same encoding as well.
The background is that outputstream just handles bytes. You must ensure
these bytes are in the above mentioned encoding. This can be done by using a
OutputStreamWri ter and setting the encoding in the constructor. Now you can
output characters and OutputStreamWri ter will ensure that the outputstream
gets the correct bytes.

My point is that the order of things is very important. In order to get
the response headers to properly reflect what you're going to send, you
need to set things *before* getOutputStream () or getWriter().
That's a point that trips up a lot of people.

That's right.
It should be easy to handle as I have seen servlet containers complaining
about attempts to set headers after the response has been committed. This is
exactly when you first fill the HTTP response body and afterwards care for
the headers.
