Problem with Accented Characters

[gsuns82]

Hi all,
I am facing a strange issue.
i.e: I have a jsp page with an input text field where the user can enter searching value even along with Accented Characters.Afte r that i am getting the input value at the controller inorder to compose a query,before that i am replacing Accented Characters with plain text values so that i can append the proper input value in the DBquery.

I tried to replace the input string for Accented Characters in a seperate java program,it worked well,but wen i try the same inside my controller,i am getting a additional ? symbol along with the input string for each Accented Characters that i entered in the jsp input text field,at the same time the Accented Characters entered in the input text field get changed as follows

Ä gets changed as Ä after hitting the search button in the jsp page.

can any one help me regarding this???

Thanks in advance,
sundar

OK, sorry, my mistake.

So, about the issue: How do you call the program, which replaces the letters? And are you absolutely sure, that the program doesn't add a unprintable character, which is displayed differently in those two uses? (In the program itself it just doesn't print and with your new program using it, it prints it as a questionmark.)

Please post some relevant code, otherwise we won't be able to find the error.

its ok,i found the solution by adding following code to my jsp
<%@page language="java" contentType="te xt/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" %>.
The prblm i had was accented characters were not regonized while processing the http request as we need to set proper charset value in our jsp page.
