Hello,
[Quoted] I am trying to send arabic text from one oc4j 9i Release 2 j2ee server to a servlet in an another application server, through a URLConnection. i have set the encoding of the url connection to windows-1256. The characterset of the jsp is windows 1256. I have set the request from the jsp by calling
request.setCharacterEncoding("windows-1256") in the servlet. If the two oc4j are installed on windows machines, everything goes smooth, however, in my case, i have the servlet on a windows machine, while the jsp is calling it from a linux machine, in such case, I get ??????? instead of arabic characters.

The jsp code that calles the servlet is:

<%_at_ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1256"%>
<%_at_page import="java.io.*" import="java.net.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1256">
<title>

Hello World
</title>
</head>
<body>
<%

try{
String l_szIsTagged = "false";
URL l_URL = new URL("http://windowsserver:8888/SpeechServlet"); URLConnection l_URLConnection = l_URL.openConnection();

l_URLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
l_URLConnection.setDoInput(true);
l_URLConnection.setUseCaches(false);
l_URLConnection.setRequestProperty("Method", "POST");

PrintWriter l_PrintWriter = new
PrintWriter(l_URLConnection.getOutputStream()); String l_szParams = "isTagged=false" + "&fileName=anything" + "&arabicText=" + URLEncoder.encode("arabic text goes here..."); l_PrintWriter.println(l_szParams);
l_PrintWriter.close();
BufferedReader l_BufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(l_URLConnection.getInputStream())); String l_szResponseLine = "";
String l_szURLResponse;
for(l_szURLResponse = ""; (l_szResponseLine =

l_BufferedReader.readLine()) != null; l_szURLResponse =
l_szURLResponse + l_szResponseLine);
l_BufferedReader.close();

System.out.println(l_szURLResponse);
}
catch (java.net.MalformedURLException l_URLException) {
System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>" +
l_URLException.getMessage());

}
catch (java.io.IOException l_IOException) {
System.out.println(">>>>>>>>><<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>"+l_IOException.getMessage());

}

%>
</body>
</html>

and the servlet code, in another server is:

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.sql.*;

public class SpeechServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=windows-1256";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
request.setCharacterEncoding("windows-1256"); response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String arabicText = request.getParameter("arabicText"); System.out.println("arabic Text: " + arabicText);

out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head><title>SpeakServlet</title>");
out.println("<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html;
charset=windows-1256'></head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("arabic Text: " + arabicText);
out.println("</body></html>");
out.close();

}
}
