MBCS to UTF-8

[kartikeya.k]

I have an client application (written in C++) using gSOAP to send SOAP
message to java web service, for one of the input parameter, C++
application is sending Japanese text as MBCS format to gSAOP, In the
sever side, Java Web Services is not able to convert from MBCS to
UTF-8.

I tried, following code to convert japanese text form SOAP message to
UTF-8.

public static String convertToUTF8(String str) {
StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer();
try {
InputStream in = new StringBufferInputStream(str);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in,
"UTF-8"));
while ((str = br.readLine()) != null) {
if (sBuf.length() > 0) sBuf.append(Endl());
sBuf.append(str);
}
br.close();
str = sBuf.toString();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
} catch (Exception e) {
}

return str;

}



TCPMON is not showing Japanese characters on the server side. It shows
some garbled characters.

Please help

Search for the string "Japanese" to the various encodings that Java
does support. Perhaps at the C end you can get these converted.
