Unicode problem

2005-05-06 00:03

Hi,

For those who have problem with unicode characters and especially with unicode data extracted from database.

 

I found a solution for the problem

I create a method that returns unicode characters from an UTF-8 or ISO string here is:

public class ArabicFormatter {

 

public static String formatString(String inputString) {

try {

return (

EncodeChanger.unicodeEsc2Unicode(

new String(inputString.getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "Cp1256")));

} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {

return "";

}

}

 

}

 

EncodeChanger is part of library that allows conversion from utf-8 to unicode (like u77c)

in my jrxml file

ArabicFormatter.formatString($F{value})

Dont forget the font and the textField encoding:

 

<reportFont name="Arab" isDefault="true" fontName="Tahoma Bold" size="12" isBold="false" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isStrikeThrough="false" pdfFontName="c:\tahomabd.ttf" pdfEncoding="Identity-H" isPdfEmbedded="true"/>

 

Any one wants the PropertiesEditor.jar that contains EncodeChanger class he can ask me ,i ll give it to him

Hope it helps

thanks

Hello,

 

It would be very kind of you if you could provide me with the PropertiesEditor.jar. I need it to do some tests. Thanks in advance.
