Java Charset problem on linux
- by scot
Hi,
problem: I have a string containing special characters which i convert to bytes and vice versa..the conversion works properly on windows but on linux the special character is not converted properly.the default charset on linux is UTF-8 as seen with Charset.defaultCharset.getdisplayName()
however if i run on linux with option -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 it works properly..
how to make it work using the UTF-8 default charset and not setting the -D option in unix environment.
edit: i use jdk1.6.13
edit:code snippet
works with cs = "ISO-8859-1"; or cs="UTF-8"; on win but not in linux
String x = "½";
System.out.println(x);
byte[] ba = x.getBytes(Charset.forName(cs));
for (byte b : ba) {
System.out.println(b);
}
String y = new String(ba, Charset.forName(cs));
System.out.println(y);
~regards
daed
