UTF-8 issues on Linux
Hi Guys,
I have a XML file that I stream through the request using Apache HttpClient.
I get this request and read into a buffered stream into a byte array. I then try to convert this array to a string setting UTF-8 as the encoding. Works fine on Windows. Linux I still get ? in place of my Spanish characters. To test I write the bytes from the request to a file, no problem I see the characters, but once I convert to a String and try to print no LUCK. In windows I don't even have to set the UTF-8 and it works, but if I do it gives me the ?. Here is some code. I have no idea why this does not work on linux. I have set all the encoding and the java switch Tomcat to run with UTF-8. All xml specifies UTF-8.
Linux Ubuntu Server edition (last stable)
Java 1.5.11
Tomcat 5.5
Thanks for any help!!!!
