Hi,
In our application a Unicode file with German and Japanese characters is submitted, which is moved to a Unix directory by using the MultipartRequest JAVA API. Later Oracle PL/SQL processes the file and makes entries in the database.
We have observed that this load is failing since the file is having some special characters when it is getting transferred to Unix. The file is untouched if it contains only English characters. To confirm this we created a file directly in Unix containing Ger/Jap chars and called the Oracle St Proc and it worked fine. When this same file was moved back to Windows using WinSCP, the file was different again.
Hence overall it looks like Unicode file movement between Windows and Unix changes the file in someway for some reason. Please let me know if any JAVA API can avoid this issue.
I scanned the Net for close to a week but couldn't find anything related. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If we cant find any solution, we are considering using POI so that JAVA can directly update the Database.
Rgds,
Raghu
