Hi
we have solved this problem
When most of the programmers are raises this problem when coverting unicode to chinese characters
But we can solve this problem by using filer class:
Here is the filter class:
Step 1:
public class CharsetFilter implements Filter {
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
//To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
chain.doFilter(request,response);
}
public void destroy() {
//To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
}
Step 2:
Add the following entry in web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>Character Encoding</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.web.common.CharsetFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Character Encoding</filter-name>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
step 3:
add a page directive in corresponding jsp page which will dispaly the chinese character and a meta tag in head section
The two tags here:
page directive:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %>
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
meta tag:
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I hope its will help you ...if not please let me know.
Regards
Srikanth
