French Characters in HTML report [message #719190]

We are using BIRT Viewer (Report) tags to display in paginated HTML. The rptDocument contains the right charcterset, b'cos the PDF and excel comes fine. But in HTML, they are not showing up in the right way. The DB charset is WE8MSWIN1252.

We tried the following
1. Setting the charset to UTF-8/windows-1252 in meta tags of the jsp where we include the report tag.
2. In the servlet, where we call the jsp of report, we have set the request encoding to Cp1252
3. Set the locale to FR_CA in the report tag

But still its not working.
FYI, it works well in the default BIRT viewer.

Any pointers will help us.

Thanks

I am not certain it matters but have you tried setting the locale to fr_CA
instead of
FR_CA

I was able to reproduce the issue. It appears there is a bug with the
report tag. Can you log a bugzilla entry for this? As a work around can
you use the viewer tag and turn off the toolbars or use iframe container
with report tag instead of div tag?

We cannot go with Viewer tag and report tag with iframe. The reason is, if there is an iframe in the browser, it is not ADA compliant. Hence we went with another approach.
Instead of using report tag, we included preview servlet. Now its working as expected

Thanks

we had other problems having preview servlet.
preview servlet spits out report embedded within HTML tags. But we need it as a reportlet as we show other stuff in the report. Hence we extended the report taglib code in our code fixed the original issue and used it.

Thanks

Changed the following line

String content = ByteArrayOutputStream.toString();

to

String content = ByteArrayOutputStream.toString("UTF-8");

Thanks

Thanks for the update. Can you add that to the bugzilla entry so it
gets fixed?
