If one special character (" ' " , " - " ) is pasted from Outlook or some other app and then into our java application and save character with – apprea on the text area on the java application. If again we save the text, the the special characters string might triple again.
Say user had copied text KHPA DAI – Additional DCG Groups to our java application, when saved and retrived that particular think, this would be seen as KHPA DAI – Additional DCG Groups. When saved the text in the database( Oracle ) its stored as KHPA DAI â?? Additional DCG Groups.
Here is a simple demonstration.
The following line contains a dash, a space, an apostrophe and another space, four characters in all.
– ’
Paste those four characters into a PIF special instructions on our jsp page. Then repeatedly save and re-query the PIF (without submitting and without making any changes to the data), and watch the size of the field grow:
1. – ’
2. – ’
3. – ’
4. – ’
5. – ’
below is the code snap shot of the textarea field
String specialInstructions = "";
<td><textarea rows="3" cols="60" name="specialInstructions" id="specialInstructions" onchange="javascript:assigntempVal();"><%=specialInstructions%>
</textarea><input type="hidden" name="splInstTemp" id="splInstTemp" value="<%=specialInstructions%>"/>
</td>
Appreciate all Java Guru's to help me out with a solution on how to handle these a dash & an apostrophe when entered or copied from other application into the text area of the java application.
How to handle such situation? :-(
